The assume breach point of view has become the norm for security professionals, recognizing that incidents are bound to happen sooner or later. But what about breaches that go beyond the typical security threats exploited by malicious outsiders? In this talk, we will dive into privacy breaches, from major well-published scandals to smaller, barely mentioned cases, showing the impact of weak privacy design and how these breaches could have been avoided.

Through these high profile privacy incidents, we will derive actionable learning that you can integrate into your current security practices, ensuring your products will be both secure and privacy-respecting.
