What are Your Devices Saying about you?

This cyber safety presentation emphasises the information that IoT devices leak without the user even being aware of the leakage and what to do about it.Attendees are taken through what an IoT device is, the sort of data that is shared and how this data is collected.The presenter shows the audience a simple Arduino device that was used to collect data and presents some anonymised real data that was collected.Finally the presentation ends by demonstrating some simple steps people can take to turn off some of the radios in their devices or ways of renaming them to make them less obvious to hackers.
