Mr. Brown –

 

Sorry to bother you again. 

 

Would it be possible for you to provide us with a headshot of yourself that we could use next to your comment?

 

If not, that’s fine.

 

Thanks,

 

Paul Wagenseil

Oh, if you would, please change last word to "coalition."

Paul-

 

The president should move to reform the demonstrably unethical and ineffective manner by which the various federal intelligence agencies collaborate with  contracting firms such as HBGary and Palantir, whose employees have been revealed via an ongoing investigation by Anonymous to have engaged in a degenerate campaign against Wikileaks, Glenn Greenwald, and our own movement, among other parties. That our own all-volunteer, emergent committee of IT specialists and tacticians were able to infiltrate HBGary's servers and distribute the very "information" that they hoped to sell to the FBI should be of concern to  everyone who hopes to see our government protect the nation from the real threats that stem from Chinese and Russian hackers - threats which have nonetheless expanded even as the feds turn more resources over to investigating our liberty-oriented collective.

Mr. Brown,

 

Amid all the budget discussions in Washington, D.C., we’re doing articles across several of our TechMediaNetwork Web sites (including LiveScience, SPACE.com and TechNewsDaily) that will offer up the thoughts and advice of experts in many fields.

 

We hoped you could participate by offering a very brief reply by 2 p.m. Eastern time Friday, to post on SecurityNewsDaily.

 

Here’s the question we’re asking each participant: If you could ask President Obama and Congress to do one thing that would be for the good of cybersecurity, what would it be and why?

 

Please provide a bit of explanation and reasoning, but be brief -- 2-4 sentences is all we're looking for, and anything more will be edited down.

 

Your response will be compiled with several other experts in the field, to be published next week. We’ll let you know when it goes live.

 

Thanks very much,

 

Paul Wagenseil
