Today I received the Microsoft Windows Security MVP designation for 2007-2008. So that is two years running. Thank you for the recognition.

Now on to more “shadowy business”- sometimes it is hard to describe my job to those not in the realm- really. It is often like the x-files mixed with the surreal and general WTF?. You wonder when Jason Bourne is going to pop up and take a snap at you…

Below is a taste of two cases we pursued doggedly for weeks if not months- determined to crack it… you will just have to hear it to believe. Following these situations is like a giant jigsaw puzzle, flipping, turning and moving pieces until the picture takes shape. The shape is rarely a pretty one.

Chris Boyd and my RSA 2007 Show- if you really want to hear stuff like:

- On the Trail of Defonics Crew

- Paypal Accounts Swapped like Pokemon Cards

- Satellite Photos and more

- Honey Pot Traps and Botnets

- Tracing the Money

- Stolen Cards and the Carder Script, and RATS

- Thousands of drones and rentals

- The BotNet Economy

- Rootkits, Adware, and More

- Q8 Army and the Gates of God

- Mirc Souped up On Evil

- Deals, structures and the Economy of Evil

- Enough Malware in one dose to Wreck a Mainframe

- Mangled BitTorrent Clients and Mr. Bean (yes)

- Word Domination and End of the World IRC Clients

- Hacker Wars, Paris Hilton and much, much, more….

Go ahead take a peek into two very different stories and the hard core collision that occurs as we enter the world of Botnets, Open the “Gates of God” and the tail the elusive Q8 Army…
