From the unfair distribution of capital to the impact of policy changes like SB 54 in California, they explore how the system can evolve to support all entrepreneurs.

What happens when you inject thousands of fake identities into the political ecosystem to monitor how personal data is used—or abused? That's the question Virginia Tech's Alan Michaels and Jared Byers explore through their multi-year research project, “Use and Abuse of Personal Information: The Politics Edition.”With support from 130 students across 21 majors, Michaels and Byers create realistic digital personas—complete with phone numbers, emails, and physical addresses—and sign them up across 1,400 political campaigns. Their goal? Understand how political organizations treat personal data: whether it's used ethically, shared with third parties, or even exposed through insecure systems.The findings are both fascinating and concerning. Their data shows that candidates across the political spectrum often prioritize fundraising above all else. The language and targeting vary, but the endgame is consistent: solicit donations and votes. And yes—these candidates frequently share or leak personal data. Sometimes it's deliberate, sometimes it's sloppy, and occasionally it's the result of potential breaches.The team examines differences in how data is handled based on whether an identity donates or not, or whether it's tied to in-state versus out-of-state addresses. They even explore how generative AI and psychometric modeling can craft convincing personalities for these fake identities—tools that can just as easily be used for political influence campaigns and psychological manipulation.But this project isn't about political sides—it's about accountability. The research remains strictly apolitical, letting the data speak for itself. Michaels and Byers are careful to avoid influencing public opinion through misinformation, focusing instead on documenting the reality of digital privacy in modern campaigning.As more of the political playbook shifts into the digital arena, this session at Black Hat USA 2025 pushes attendees to confront an uncomfortable truth: the cost of participation in political life may include the exploitation of your digital identity.___________Guests:Alan Michaels, Professor and Director, Spectrum Dominance Division at Virginia Tech | On LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/alan-michaels-1066814/Jared Byers, Research Associate at Virginia Tech National Security Institute | On LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jared-byers-8a477324b/Hosts:Sean Martin, Co-Founder at ITSPmagazine | Website: https://www.seanmartin.comMarco Ciappelli, Co-Founder at ITSPmagazine | Website: https://www.marcociappelli.com___________Episode SponsorsThreatLocker: https://itspm.ag/threatlocker-r974BlackCloak: https://itspm.ag/itspbcwebAkamai: https://itspm.ag/akamailbwcDropzoneAI: https://itspm.ag/dropzoneai-641Stellar Cyber: https://itspm.ag/stellar-9dj3___________ResourcesSession: Use and Abuse of Personal Information -- Politics Edition: https://www.blackhat.com/us-25/briefings/schedule/#use-and-abuse-of-personal-information----politics-edition-45529Learn more and catch more stories from our Black Hat USA 2025 coverage: https://www.itspmagazine.com/bhusa25ITSPmagazine Webinar: What's Heating Up Before Black Hat 2025: Place Your Bet on the Top Trends Set to Shake Up this Year's Hacker Conference — An ITSPmagazine Thought Leadership Webinar | https://www.crowdcast.io/c/whats-heating-up-before-black-hat-2025-place-your-bet-on-the-top-trends-set-to-shake-up-this-years-hacker-conferenceCatch all of our event coverage: https://www.itspmagazine.com/technology-and-cybersecurity-conference-coverageWant to tell your Brand Story Briefing as part of our event coverage?

Corner Booth at Rex'sOur newest Corner Booth at Rex's is on James Gunn reboot of Superman. The movie is packed to the gills with characters, creatures, and crazy concepts. Come alongside us as we discuss all the good, the bad, and the very weird of the movie that will reboot the entire DCU. Byers makes Troy a little sad with one of his criticisms of the film as it was one of his favorite scenes. We discuss how audiences don't need origin stories for well established characters anymore and it's great that directors are in agreement. Spoiler free until the 21 minute mark.
