Lauri Love is a professional hacker, cybersecurity expert, and political activist. He has a long history of exploring digital systems and engaging in community activism. In 2015, the US Government accused him of cyberterrorism and sought his extradition, linking him to an Anonymous hacktivist campaign after the death of internet pioneer Aaron Swartz. He was also accused of exposing vulnerabilities in numerous US government security systems, including those of the DOJ, FBI, Federal Reserve Bank, Military, and NASA. Lauri's victory against extradition in 2018 brought attention to issues within the US federal criminal justice system, establishing important legal precedents regarding prison conditions, sentencing guidelines, international jurisdiction, and the balance between privacy and investigative powers in the digital age. He now focuses on the design, development, testing, and oversight of cybersecurity systems, among other projects.
