Reminder: Until May 31 current contributions from the area of usable security can be submitted to the European Symposium on Usable Security (EuroUSEC) 2024. Contributions have to be registered until May 27, 2024. Submission deadline is May, 31, 2024. As in previous years, EuroUSEC will be an independent event without affiliation to any conference. Accepted contributions will be published as part of the International Conference Proceeding Series (ICPS) by ACM. EuroUSEC 2024 will take place September 30 and October 1, 2024 in Karlstad, Sweden. Anne Hennig supports the conference as member of the program commitee.

Fraudsters no longer rely on the "grandchild trick" in the hallway, but on nasty tricks online! The three NoPhish videos from the SECUSO research group explain the dangers posed by phishing emails and provide tips on how to recognize phishing emails. Each video explains how users can recognize unsafe senders and dangerous attachments, how users can recognize whether a link is unsafe, and how to keep a cool head even in stressful situations and not let themselves be unsettled. The videos are now also part of the self-learning materials from the Cybersecurity Transfer Center for SMEs (Transferstelle Cybersicherheit für den Mittelstand).

Anne Hennig and Maxime Veit support the Poster Jury of the Twentieth Symposium on Usable Privacy and Security (SOUPS 2024). SOUPS seeks posters and poster abstracts of recent or ongoing research related to usable privacy and security. Submissions of preliminary findings from ongoing work, undergraduate/master research projects, or posters about work on usable privacy and security that were recently published at other venues (2023 to 2024) are welcomed. Submission deadline for posters is Thursday, May 23, 2024. SOUPS 2024 will take place August 11–13, 2024, and will be co-located with the 33rd USENIX Security Symposium in Philadelphia, PA, USA.

From April 25 to 26, 2024, the German Pre-CHI 2024 will take place at Saarbrücken University. The idea of the event is to provide an opportunity for researchers from Germany and neighboring countries to present their accepted CHI 2024 papers and discuss them in a smaller circle. Benjamin Berens will present the results of his paper "Better Together: The Interplay Between a Phishing Awareness Video and a Link-centric Phishing Support Tool". The Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems (CHI 2024) will take place this year from May 11 to 16 on the island of Oʻahu, Hawaii. Registration for CHI is open and the program has already been published.
