National Missing Persons Hackathon returns for
More than 500 ethical hackers from around the country will come together today in an effort to find new leads in long-term missing persons’ cases in Australia.
These ethical hackers will apply their unique skills to interrogate open source resources on the internet with the goal of generating new leads for current long-term missing persons’ cases.
Following the success of the inaugural Hackathon event in 2019, the Australian Federal Police (AFP) will again partner with AustCyber, a not-for-profit Federal Government funded organisation, and Trace Labs, a Canadian based non-profit organisation who provide crowdsourced open intelligence (OSINT), to hold the second Hackathon event in Canberra.
Twelve missing persons have been selected from existing State and Territory police cases for participants to collect open source intelligence on and to hopefully generate new information. All leads generated on the missing person cases will be handed to State and Territory police forces, through the AFP’s National Missing Persons Coordination Centre (NMPCC) after the completion of the event.
