Why are we so naive online? Cybercriminals are attacking our devices and we don’t know how to protect ourselves. People will never share the personal contacts on their phone with someone on the street. But if the same people download an app, they will give permission to do just that, without a thought. Because we simply don’t know how criminals enter our computer or our phone. How it works to steal your identity for example. It’s time to become aware! Maria Genova was born in Bulgaria. At the age of nineteen she moved to the Netherlands. She graduated at the Academy for Journalism in Tilburg and worked for various newspapers and magazines. Her best-seller “Komt een vrouw bij de h@cker” has been an eye-opener to many readers. The book shows how easy it is to steal your identity and to hack your computer. Maria is one of the most sought-after speakers in the Netherlands in the field of identity fraud, privacy and information security. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx
