RE: Toward a last call for the Note

I agree with Mike and FSTC participates in APWG, has contacts with the FBI
and would be happy to work with CAB

I think CABF and APWG are both good ideas.  Wells Fargo belongs to CABF (and
sometimes participates in APWG); let me know if I can be of assistance.

 

A good way to liaise with the FBI (if the group wishes to do that) would be
through Infraguard: http://www.infragard.net/

 

Also I'm sure Dan would agree that FSTC members will want to review the Note
o.b.o. financial services industry.

I know of no one else that we need review from. Now's the time for everyone
else to say who else we need review from. Who else do we need review from? 

 

A suggestion we've made once or twice in the CABForum work, which may be
equally appropriate here, would be to get someone from the law enforcement
field (particularly anyone involved in issues of electronic crime, internet
fraud issues) to give us, if not a formal review, at least a bird's eye view
of whether these are the kind of things that they feel will lead to
meaningful improvement or even, if we can dare to dream, suggest new
features/restrictions they would like to see in place.  

 

I've read, for example, that the far and away leading online crime, in terms
of number of incidents reported and damages (cite lacking, sorry...) is
auction fraud.  Now, that is arguably outside or scope, but it does help
cast a certain perspective on our work here, in terms of the areas where we
can do the most good.  

 

This is a limp suggestion though, since I have no direct contacts with the
people appropriate to offer this review.  It's possible that I/we could
reach someone through APWG, but I'm a little reluctant to even mention that,
since it sounds like volunteering, and I don't really have much active
participation in the APWG at the moment.

 

In the meantime then, I welcome anyone else jumping in and saying they have
a drinking buddy who is the head of the FBI's cybercrime unit.

 

Cheers,
