Our recommendation to the National Security Council is to pursue Policy #4, using a honeynet to trap attackers and provide attribution. This technical solution is far more covert than our other alternative policies. It allows us to obtain knowledge about hackers’ methods and means of attack during their attempts to infiltrating sensitive data. Most importantly, it could potentially provide irrefutable evidence for attribution. This evidence enables the US to impose harsher sanctions without fear…

When solving murders and other crimes, in some cases, technology is essential to finding who committed the crime. With these big companies like Google and Apple, they are now encrypting phones and other devices, so that no one…

When an unnamed brand used Max Dubler's photograph of two skateboarders on their Instagram account, the violated Mr. Dubler's copyright. If this went to court, I'm convinced Max Dubler would win for many reasons.

In one scene it showed an inmate getting back into his…
