See you there, folks! Title: "The Virus Threat: Methods and Mayhem--Wartime Perspectives" Speaker(s): Jimmy Kuo is a McAfee Fellow, formerly the Director of AntiVirus Research. He has been with McAfee/NAI since 1995. He was awarded as one of the Fed 100 honorees in June 2000, for his work on the Melissa virus case. Previous seminars and presentations: NISSC, FBI-SanFrancisco, CIA-Langley, PCCIP, DoD-CERT, OSU, Stanford, BCIT, ... and was a member of the Y2K Task Force. Topic: Since Melissa, the general public has come to realize that email attachments may not be safe, no matter who sends them to you. But, approximately July and August of 2001, the computer malware threat took a turn to a more devious and direct threat. Traditional virus capabilities have been married to exploits to create the likes of CodeRed, Nimda, et. al., that require no user action, have no attachments, or infect directly off viewing a web page. You have seen the future. It is happening now. In addition to an in-depth look at those particular viruses, we will discuss any number of topics in the arena of computer viruses that participants wish to touch upon, including defenses, the USA/PATRIOT Act, HIPAA, virus writers, etc., and bring forth your controversial topics!
