In the last month or so, we have seen the Department of Justice take two decisive actions to punish criminal wrongdoing: Lori Drew was prosecuted for violating MySpace’s terms of service and David Kernell was charged with breaking into Sarah Palin’s email account. Both of these people definitely did things that deserve punishment. Unfortunately, these crimes are trivial in comparison to more serious crimes that the Justice Department chooses to ignore.

I'm often asked what prompted me to drop a secure career in academia and system analysis and take up hunting and exposing cybercrime for no pay. Believe me, I've often asked myself the same question over the last few years. But all I need do is recall the victimization of Julie Amero by cyber-criminal activity to revive my enthusiasm. Her story stands, out not only as a demonstration of the potential impact of cybercrime on an individual, but also as a terrible miscarriage of justice.

An announcement made Monday has the potential to shake things up in this critical technology space -- as it raises questions about what the future of safe Internet client security will be.

It was a busy weekend for those of us on the cyber-security front: On Saturday our good friends at McColo suddenly re-emerged for a brief time with botnets galore and the spam volumes back in the billions again. The good news is that within a very long 24 hours, McColo was taken offline again.
