LAS VEGAS — How would you know if someone is spying on you? If you’re at risk and you have some computer savvy, you can figure it out on your own using low-tech spy detection equipment.
Phil “Dr. Phil” Polstra, a computer information systems professor and “hacker in residence” at the University of Dubuque, gave a talk on the subject to a (perhaps justifiably) paranoid audience at the Defcon hacker conference in Las Vegas this week. This sort of advice fits exactly with the kind of mindset of attendees at Defcon, where the assumption is that hackers are likely to be spied upon for their work.
