Come join us in room 225 at the Fedex Institute of Technology (FIT) at the UofM campus

One of the core traits of all hackers is curiosity, the thirst for knowledge and new skills. But what does one do with that knowledge? Do they pursue money, power, or fame? Perhaps their motivations are more noble—or sinister. This month, we’re exploring the intersection of hacking and activism, where the lines between rebellion, resistance, and retribution blur. From Anonymous to whistleblowers, hacktivism has reshaped how we view both hacking and cybersecurity. Join us as we dive into the ethical gray areas, the tools, and the true impact of hacktivism. Whether you’re inspired, skeptical, or just curious, this meetup is for anyone who’s ever wondered if their skills could make a difference—or spark a revolution.

As always, MEMSEC is very n00b friendly and someone here can certainly answer whatever questions you may have!
​
This meetup is FREE and open to the public with Garibaldi's pizza!
