== New Delhi activity 1
Date and Time: Tuesday, 12th, 2019 - 10 AM - 1 PM\ Venue: SFLC.IN - K-9, Second Floor, Birbal Road,Jangpura Extension, New Delhi-110014, India.\ Organizations invited: Software Freedom Law Centre (SFLC)\ space: 25 people\
== Activity: Tor Training, threat model exercise - 11 people (mixed crowd: journalists, lawyers, technologists)\ User group: Journalists and lawyers\ Audience size: 11 people\
During the threat modelling exercise, the following were found to be most recurring:\ Assets: mails from publishers and sources (for journalists) and private communication with clients (for lawyers), especially clients from politically heated cases or cases being followed in the media\ Threats: from the government, and from specific political or personal adversaries (for both journalists and lawyers)
The questions that were repeatedly asked:\
- The tools I can use along with Tor to make my assets secure?(mail clients, etc.)\
- What about my communication from other mobile apps? \
- Does using Tor with VPN make it more secure for me?\
- Can I hide the fact that I am using Tor? (most participants were unaware of bridges and pluggable transports)\
Suggestions and ideas from the audience:\
- Including a course or module on cyber security in the journalism and law curriculums in the country\
- organising Tor sessions on campuses of prominent journalism and law institutes in the country to train professionals early on. \
- a general interest in participating in #tor-south meetings.
