Chaos Computer Club

The Chaos Computer Club (CCC) is one of Europe’s largest and oldest hacker organizations, founded in Germany in 1981. It promotes freedom of information, privacy, and digital rights, while raising awareness about surveillance and security issues. The club holds annual conferences where experts share knowledge on technology, hacking, and digital culture. CCC also engages in activism, advocating for more open and secure computing practices, and often collaborates with researchers and policymakers on cybersecurity issues. Its members emphasize ethical hacking, encouraging responsible use of technology to challenge societal norms and government actions that threaten individual freedoms.
