Somebody Listening? *** Special Announcement *** KNIGHT LIGHTNING TO SPEAK AT SURVEILLANCE EXPO '92 Washington, DC The Fourth Annual International Surveillance and Countersurveillance Conference and Exposition focusing on Information Security and Investigations Technology will take place at the Sheraton Premiere in Tysons Corner (Vienna), Virginia on August 4-7. The seminars are on August 7th and include Craig Neidorf (aka Knight Lightning) presenting and discussing the following: - Are law enforcement and computer security officials focusing their attention on where the real crimes are being committed? - Should security holes and other bugs be made known to the public? - Is information property and if so, what is it worth? Experience the case that changed the way computer crime is investigated and prosecuted by taking a look at one of America's most talked about computer crime prosecutions: United States v. Neidorf (1990). Exonerated former defendant Craig Neidorf will discuss the computer "hacker" underground, Phrack newsletter, computer security, and how it all came into play during his 7 month victimization by some of our nation's largest telephone companies and an overly ambitious and malicious federal prosecutor. Neidorf will speak about his trial in 1990 and how the court dealt with complex issues of First Amendment rights, intellectual property, and criminal justice. Security professionals, government employees, and all other interested parties are invited to attend. For more information please contact: American Technology Associates, Inc. P.O.
