Brenno de Winter is a Dutch research journalist who focuses on IT-security and privacy. He is pretty well known here in the Netherlands for his famous hacking of the OV-chipkaart, the Dutch pass that allows people to pay for public transportation, that was not very well secured. But there are many other cases like database hacks and his famous ‘lektober’ (a combination of the Dutch words for Leaking and October) where he did one leak a day for a month. Brenno is also quite the storyteller. With no slides he told us about his experiences so far, his view on the world and how we can create our own turning point when it comes to online privacy.
