I take the podcast on the road and speak with Ted Levison, Senior Investigator for the Major Crimes Unit of New York State Police Troop B in Norwood, New York. Where the heck is Norwood you ask. Well it is at the top of NY on the border with Canada (and no NOT near BUFFALO). It is not the end of the world but you can see it from there. Ted and I discuss the difficulties in investigating and prosecuting cybercrime and other cyber matters in small rural areas like St. Lawrence County. Though really the issues we discuss are likely found everywhere. Email me with questions for future podcasts at darren@thecyburguy.com or find me on www.linkedin.com/in/darrenmott.

In this podcast I discuss a 5 year online undercover operation from the halcyon days of the FBI's Cyber Intellectual Property Rights phase of the early 2000s. I'll discuss the case with the informant I worked with who made the case successful. This case resulted in search warrants and arrests in over 20 US cities, and across 7 countries when it was all said and done, as was part of the largest online takedown operations in the FBI at that time.
