'Dark Tangent' Joins DHS Advisory Council
Kim Zetter writes on Threat Level:
Forget the new cyber security czar position that President Barack Obama announced last week.More here.
The real sign that the White House might be finally taking cyber security seriously came in an announcement on Friday that Jeff Moss, aka “Dark Tangent” and the former hacker behind the annual DefCon hacker confab in Las Vegas, has been appointed to the Department of Homeland Security’s Advisory Council (HSAC).
He was among 16 people sworn in to the council by Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano. Former CIA Director William Webster and former FBI Director Louis Freeh are also on the council, which provides advice and recommendations to the secretary. Webster is the council chair.
