Dr. Megan Squire stories

Dr. Megan Squire examines how technology, security, and online abuse intersect, with a particular focus on how digital tools are weaponized against vulnerable groups. Her work highlights the ways in which emerging technologies like deepfakes are used to facilitate harm, and why these abuses must be treated with the same seriousness as other security incidents.

By reframing issues such as non-consensual deepfake abuse as cybersecurity problems rather than just social or interpersonal conflicts, Dr. Squire urges readers to think in terms of threat models, accountability, and systemic defenses. Readers can expect detailed, security-focused analysis that pushes beyond surface-level commentary to ask what technical, legal, and institutional changes are needed to prevent and respond to these attacks.
