Webinar: Spot the Bot Lunch & Learn
Special Events
On Wednesday, April 8, beginning at 12 PM, we will host another Lunch & Learn Webinar on "Spot the Bot: How to spot fake accounts and sort fact from fiction in social media" with Torry Crass. As the former Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) for NC and for the NC State Board of Elections, Torry will explain how to recognize fake accounts, foreign interference, and misinformation in various forms during this hour-long lunch and learn. He will focus on NC vulnerabilities, noting that our US Senate race will likely bring a lot of misleading campaign ads and interference over the summer, but will also look more broadly at threats and the tools the average person can use to recognize and avoid being manipulated by bots or even drawn into fraudulent schemes.
