Description: Two years ago hackers made off with the emails and passwords or nearly a million people, stolen from the database of one of the most popular websites in the world. It's a story we unfortunately hear in the news all the time, but in this case it was our own online home, drupal.org.

How do attackers break into sites? But more importantly as site builders, owners, and developers, what can we do to prevent it from happening? And since its so pervasive, how do we plan for dealing with the inevitable and recover from a break-in?

Presented by, Ben Jeavons, a member of the Drupal security team and having dealt with several real break-ins, I'll detail how website break-ins can happen and what you can do proactively anderra reactively to deal with it. Come along and hear some stories of Drupal heists in action.
