On Wednesday, November 2, the Strauss Center is hosting former federal prosecutor Norman Barbosa as he discusses prosecuting cyber crimes. America’s computer networks are under attack. Hackers steal trade secrets, personal data, and government records. Ransomware has paralyzed schools, hospitals, oil pipelines, and government agencies. Mr. Barbosa will discuss the variety of cyber crimes that can be charged under federal law, how the Justice Department investigates and prosecutes these cases, and how prosecution fits into the U.S. government’s broader cybersecurity strategy.
