Folks, The CRIME-OCATE presentation series has about wrapped up. Eogan Casey (last, but certainly not least) will be speaking on 02/28/03 @ OCATE: http://www.cs.pdx.edu/~markem/LAB/LDFSR/ocate.html#Casey Following Casey's presentation, CRIME will shift back to its old schedule (2nd Tuesdays @10AM) and haunts (Verizon Cellular off I-5 and Carmen Drive. To kick off the fact that "we're baaack," I've arranged to have Mr. Scott Charney, Microsoft's chief security strategist, as our March speaker. It's taken me a very long time to get him here--but finally! I worked with Scott Charney when I was in the FBI in the Bay Area, and Scott was heading up the Computer Crimes and Intellectual Property Section at the U.S. Dept. of Justice. A more engaging and knowledgeable speaker on the subjects of computer crime, intellectual property crime, and international cybercrime treaties, cannot be found. I want you to pack the house for Scott, so mark your calendars to be there. I will post more details about the topic, etc, when I get them. Meanwhile, below is a bit of further background on Scott, from the news squib detailing his hiring at Microsoft. Scott took Howard Schmidt's job, when Howard left for the beltway. ___________________________________ REDMOND, Wash. -- Jan. 31, 2002 --Microsoft Corp. today announced that Scott Charney, a principal for PricewaterhouseCoopers' Cybercrime Prevention and Response Practice, has agreed to join Microsoft as chief security strategist.

He is scheduled to start work at Microsoft on the first of April. "As one of the industry's top computer security experts, Scott has wide-ranging experience in cybercrime and computer forensics, which will make him an essential member of Microsoft's Trustworthy Computing leadership team," said Craig Mundie, chief technical officer at Microsoft...
