On April 13th, 2011, journalist and author Joseph Menn spoke as part of the CyberPoint Speaker series. He discussed his latest book, Fatal System Error, The Hunt for the New Crime Lords Who are Bringing Down the Internet, and other cybersecurity topics. Menn covers cybersecurity and other technology issues for the Financial Times, after a decade on the same beat for the Los Angeles Times. He is the author of 2003's All the Rave: The Rise and Fall of Shawn Fanning's Napster and a two-time finalist for the Gerald Loeb Award, the top prize in business reporting. Menn has spoken to the largest security industry conferences as well as meetings convened by the U.S. Secret Service and bank regulators.
The event was made possible in part by the generous support of the Economic Alliance of Greater Baltimore and the Harbor East Development Group.
