    José González Cabañas (Universidad Carlos III de Madrid, Spain)

Large online platforms use personal data, for example, your interests, to allow advertisers to reach you based on the things you like. But did you know some of these interests they use are associated with sensitive information directly linked to your social profile? In this talk, I will talk about the definition of sensitive data in terms of the General Data Protection Regulation in Europe (GDPR). What does the GDPR say about its use? And how large social networks like Facebook use it to deliver you ads? We will see how many Facebook users are labeled with sensitive information around the world. Our findings show that a significant portion of Facebook users is tagged with some potentially sensitive ad preferences onto their profiles. This is important in terms of privacy. We will check if there are differences between countries. And finally, I will discuss the risks associated with this undesirable use of our data.

    Vulnerability databases play a crucial role in modern software security, serving as the backbone for Application Security (AppSec) and Software Composition Analysis (SCA) tools. However, the accuracy and reliability of these databases vary significantly, often leading to misinformed security decisions. This talk explores the challenges associated with vulnerability databases, including incomplete[…]

    Embedded systems do not benefit from strong memory protection, because they are designed to minimize cost. At the same time, there is increasing pressure to connect embedded devices to the internet, where their vulnerable nature makes them routinely subject to compromise. This fundamental tension leads to the current status-quo where exploitable devices put individuals and critical infrastructure[…]
