  • New York, NY (1888PressRelease) April 26, 2023 - Brooklyn Law School hosted the first of its kind “Dorking” event exploring the dangers and legality of Search Engine Hacking, with shocking demos on the ease of obtaining access to passwords, confidential documents, and web cameras.

    The Subotnick Center of 250 Joralemon St, Brooklyn, NY 11201 was the epicenter of a shocking revelation on April 19th, 2023, as the Brooklyn Law Incubator & Policy Clinic (BLIP) and Legal Hackers hosted the groundbreaking event entitled "Go Dork Yourself - the Dangers and Legalities of Search Engine Hacking."

    The event was a bombshell that left over 120 attendees, in-person and virtual, stunned and scared. The presentations were led by experts in cybersecurity, hacking, and law. The content was focused on the implications of Search Engine Hacking, commonly known as "Google Dorking," and how it can be used for research, and also criminal activities like cyberterrorism, identity theft, and cyberstalking.

    Victims’ rights attorney Carrie Goldberg, Founder/Director of BLIP Professor Jonathan Askin, cybersecurity law expert Professor Mark Rosen, and Owlsec Founders and Ethical Hackers Jimi Flynn and Kevin Roberts spoke alongside Star Kashman, a third-year Brooklyn Law School student who recently published an article on the subject titled "Google Dorking or Legal Hacking: From the CIA Compromise to Your Cameras at Home, We Are Not as Safe as We Think."

    The highlight of the event was the ethical hacker demonstration, which showed how easy it is to obtain passwords, confidential files, and access to webcams. Attendees were shocked to learn how this simple technique has been used to peer into children's bedrooms and speak to them, compromise the CIA, hack into civil infrastructure, and commit crimes such as sextortion, doxing, homicide, and more.

    The event was a wake-up call for the public, who now understand the importance of protecting sensitive and private data online. It was a valuable learning and networking opportunity for anyone interested in cybersecurity and the law, and participants got the chance to "Dork themselves" to find out if any private or sensitive information was found online about themselves. Some attendees were shocked to find sensitive information about themselves available online for exploitation through Search Engine Hacking .

    "We are thrilled with the success of this groundbreaking event," said Star Kashman. "It is essential that our community understands how Search Engine Hacking can be used to access sensitive and private data. We are confident that this event has educated many people on this lesser-known technique and will lead to further discussion and collaboration on how to address this issue."

    The event was a must-attend for anyone interested in cybersecurity and the law, and it was open to the public. To learn more about the event or to register for upcoming events, visit the website: www.starkashman.com
