Sometimes threats come from inside the system (content warning: intimate partner violence).
This week we're talking with Julia about how to model risk when the threat is known and trusted (e.g., coercion, manipulation and surveillance).
Julia Slupska is a doctoral student at the Centre for Doctoral Training in Cybersecurity and the Oxford Internet Institute. Her research focuses on technologically-mediated abuse like image-based sexual abuse ('revenge porn') and stalking, as well as emotion, care and metaphors in cybersecurity.
Julia's recent papers: Aiding Intimate Violence Survivors in Lockdown: Lessons about Digital Security in the Covid-19 Pandemic (https://dl.acm.org/doi/abs/10.1145/3491101.3503548); Cybersecurity must learn from and support advocates tackling online gender-based violence (https://unidir.org/commentary/cybersecurity-online-GBV).
