"Socrates Institute President Mary Radnofsky Speaks at The World Bank's Interntional Financial Corporation "Security Awareness Day"

Alexandria, VA -- The Socrates Institute's founding president, Dr. Mary Radnofsky, gave the invited speech at this year's Security Awareness Day at the International Financial Corporation (IFC) in Washington, D.C. The IFC is the private sector branch of the World Bank Group. Dr. Radnofsky spoke about computer crime cases involving both traditional phishing and the increasingly serious problem of "Corporate Phishing." While most attendees indicated they are aware of how phishing scams generally work, most were not at all familiar with the less frequent, but much more damaging "Corporate phishing."

"Your Kids Hacking Into Trouble? Online Pranks Can Be Dangerous & Illegal"

Monday, Jul 3, 2006, at 8:00 PM EST, I was guest speaker at an online, real-time discussion entitled, "Your Kids Hacking Into Trouble? Online Pranks Can be Dangerous & Illegal" at www.tappedin.org in the room, "After School Online."

The topic was juvenile hacking, because many kids' hacks that begin "innocently" can create economic and physical damage affecting entire populations. Increasing numbers of juveniles are committing these crimes recklessly and without realizing the results of their actions.

The questions addressed in the discussion were: "So how can we teach them the truth and consequences of their hacking pranks?" and "How can we help them turn their programming talents in other directions?"
