Simulated example — not a real message

Two simulated example messages, not real: "ALERT: Your account access has been limited. Verify your details to restore it." and "Hi love, I can’t talk right now but I really need your help with something small."

Anti-Hackathon 3.0 · November 2027 · Orlando, FL

Outsmart the scam before it reaches you.

Scammers never ask how you vote.

Sextortionists don’t check your political party. Cyberstalkers don’t care what you believe. Fraudsters aren’t screening for ideology. They’re hunting for opportunity: exposed personal information, an unguarded moment, someone who responds before they verify.

Anti-Hackathon closes those openings, before a single text, call or message can cost your family its savings, its safety, or a life.

The threat is universal. So is the defense.

The criminals already know the script. Be in the room where you learn it too.

Brands that stand with your family.

From one afternoon in Orlando to a movement.

Anti-Hackathon started with a simple bet: if you hand people the same tactics real investigators use to catch scammers, they'll spot the next one themselves. Here's how it's grown.

2024

The Inaugural Anti-Hackathon

Nov 17, 2024 at the Walt Disney Amphitheater. Founder Christopher Salgado headlined alongside a Florida mayor, the Orange County Comptroller's Office, Seminole County Sheriff's Office, a retired NYPD detective, a Nigerian cyber-crime detective, a former Meta/Netflix investigator, and FBI-supplied content.

  • $3,000+ in giveaways
  • 501st Legion (Florida Garrison)
  • Orlando Sentinel & Tampa Bay Times coverage
2025

A planned pause

No event in 2025, for logistical reasons — the year went into rebuilding the program, widening the topic list, and lining up new partners.

  • Building toward 2.0
2026

Anti-Hackathon 2.0

April 12, 2026 — back at Lake Eola Park with a Florida mayor and the Orange County Comptroller's Office returning, plus a live "Online Safety Game," a bigger partner footprint, and sponsors including White Castle, Mikenstein Music Productions and AARP Florida.

  • $4,000+ in giveaways
  • Live audience "Online Safety Game"

Anti-Hackathon 3.0: The One You Can’t Miss.

November 2027 · Orlando, Florida

By day, it’s an exciting festival that makes your family harder to scam. Stormtroopers, Mandalorians and more Star Wars favorites from the official 501st Legion secure the area. Live games, giveaways, animal encounters and hands-on booths for the kids, plus real investigators breaking down live scam demos. By night, the stage transforms and the energy skyrockets.

The first two events set the bar. 3.0 is built to blow past it, with more to learn, see and do from morning to well after dark. Everyone who’s there will be talking about it for years. If you’re not, you’ll be hearing about it from them.

Be first to know. Join the list for the lineup, after-dark surprises, early looks at new experiences, and volunteer spots.
