This one turned out so well that the more time I spend an introduction, the more I'm delaying you from learning about Jessica Hyde. You'll see soon enough why I wanted to do this interview. Enjoy.

The page view metrics for the blog are starting to come back
and I’m starting to see more engagement on what I’m writing because of that.
You can follow and communicate with me in public on Twitter, Facebook, and LinkedIn, but I’m finding
that most people are comfortable just talking in private. Twitter direct messages have been quite popular,
for example, and I’m fine with however people Eric Huberhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05595003374574331857noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8875668111631820725.post-446526780013494832018-01-01T10:21:00.000-05:002018-01-01T10:36:42.805-05:00Unfit For Purpose: A Tale of Two Currencies
I initially wrote off cryptocurrencies because of deep
Bitcoin skepticism that largely remains with me to this day. I was also turned
off by the fact that some of the most enthusiastic early Bitcoin enthusiasts
were criminals (because of a healthy aversion to prison) and people who had a
political axe to grind particularly when it came to central banking.

Okay, so I can’t let this one go. I know I’m way late to the
game on this since I wasn’t able to blog about it when it happened. One of my
big takeaways from the Equifax hack is that we still have a long way to go in
the information security community in educating the public and the media about
who we are particularly as it pertains to the digital forensics and incident
response world.

Chances are
excellent that your incident response plan has a glaring omission in regards to
one of the most critical aspects of success during an incident.
There has been an immense amount of time and
treasure expended on what a proper incident response plan should look
like. Just throw “incident response plan”
into your favorite search engine and you’ll get pages and pages of content.

One of my technology obsessions interests is
blockchain technology and how it will integrate itself into the world’s
financial system. We’re still in the wild, wild west stage of the technology,
but it’s not a matter of whether blockchain will be part of the future of
finance – and therefore financial crime – but how it will manifest itself as
the technology matures and becomes more widely Eric Huberhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05595003374574331857noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8875668111631820725.post-23732865965414321162017-12-07T18:48:00.002-05:002017-12-07T21:56:20.807-05:00Back In The Saddle Again
I spent almost the last six years working for one of the
world’s largest financial institutions and it was a great experience where I
learned more in that time than I think I would have learned in a lifetime with
a smaller institution. I’m very grateful
for the experience, but one of the tradeoffs was that I had to put the blog on
hiatus several years back after my employer implemented a Eric Huberhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05595003374574331857noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8875668111631820725.post-49165695286097076572014-08-11T17:58:00.001-04:002014-08-24T03:11:20.039-04:00AFoD Blog Interview With Andrew CaseI can’t remember how long I’ve known Andrew. It seems like we’ve been corresponding on social media and email for ages now and I’ve been a fan of his work for a very long time. He’s been a heroic contributor to the open source digital forensics community and I figured it was long past time for me to do a proper AFoD Blog interview with him.

I’m still here, but my time continues to be so limited that I’ve had to continue to put the blog on hold. A couple years back I started a great new job building out a world class cyber investigations team and that continues to take up the majority of my time.

(Part 2)I’m back in graduate school these days which is one of the reasons why I’m long overdue on this blog post. Returning to school has provided me with perspective of a student when thinking about the issue of digital forensics degrees. The more I think about it, the less I like the idea of the digital forensics academic programs compared to some alternatives.

One of the nice things about having my own blog is that I am my own editor and I don’t have to ask permission to write about something that has very little to do with the original purpose of the blog.
