Presentation Overview: LulzSec didn’t invent hacktivism, but its small crew of hackers whose motto is “Laughing at your security since 2011!” merrily sailed the cyber-seas for 50 days of mayhem that became one of the biggest tech stories of 2011. LulzSec caused (and is still causing) sleepless nights for security professionals around the world. Jerry Gamblin will discuss what they did, how they did it, and how we should have been able to stop them.

Jerry Gamblin has been the Network Security Specialist for the Missouri House of Representatives since 2005. He manages the Missouri House of Representatives security program and speaks regularly to security groups around the country about network security and security awareness issues. He was a featured speaker at the CyberCrime 2011 Symposium in New Hampshire, and he organized a Security B-Sides conference which was held this Fall at the Missouri Capitol.
