Election Night, 2016

A vote for anyone is a vote for the EFF

This election day, we celebrate in the US our freedom and democratic process. Fighting for our freedom in the digital space are our friends at the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF.org). That’s why this election day, Urbane will donate $1 to the EFF for each person who tweets their “I Voted” sticker (or like evidence) with the hashtag #InfosecVotes.

Unlike your Facebook friends, we’re not here to judge you for voting for Hillary, Trump, Johnson, Stein, or your write in for John Stewart. Vote for your President. Vote for your Senators and Representatives. Vote for your local issues. Whether you’re left, right, in the middle, or off the spectrum, your vote is your voice, and a vote for anyone this week is a vote for the EFF.

And now, a few notes about this drive.

Urbane Security will donate $1 per verifiable individual (sorry Twitter botnets of toasters and tea kettles) to the Electronic Frontier Foundation up to USD $5000 with the hashtag #InfosecVotes along with an “I Voted” sticker or similar proof of vote. Your tweet and picture must be posted by November 9th at 23:59 Eastern Time.

Urbane is once again sponsoring ShmooCon this upcoming year, and we have a number of ShmooCon tickets to give away before registration even opens! That’s right, this is your chance to secure a ShmooCon ticket without having to race to solve the captcha faster than anyone else.

Join the Urbane Security team in Vegas this August 3rd to August 9th, 2015 for DEF CON 23, Black Hat 2015, and BSidesLV 7. Our large lineup of events include:

An Urbane Private Affair at the Urbane Suite

Tis the time of the year, when boys and girls gather around their computers, waiting for the clock to strike 12. They furiously press F5, Apple-R, and BOTNET_ACTIVATE.exe in hopes of having the quickest fingers and the lowest ping to get one of a few golden tickets. But alas, many are not quick enough or are forgetful of such a holiday. It’s a holiday of dedication, sacrafice, and passion. It’s ShmooCon Ticket Season!

But alas, for those who overslept their alarms, couldn’t connect on GoGo, or “had to work”, Urbane has a holiday gift for you!
