Interplay of Borders, Turf, Cyberspace, and Jurisdiction: Issues Confronting U.S. Law Enforcement [July 20, 2012]
"Savvy criminals constantly develop new techniques to target U.S. persons, businesses, and interests. Individual criminals as well as broad criminal networks exploit geographic borders, criminal turf, cyberspace, and law enforcement jurisdiction to dodge law enforcement countermeasures. Further, the interplay of these realities can potentially encumber policing measures. In light of these interwoven realities, policy makers may question how to best design policies to help law enforcement combat ever-evolving criminal threats. Criminals routinely take advantage of geographic borders. They thrive on their ability to illicitly cross borders, subvert border security regimens, and provide illegal products or services. Many crimes--particularly those of a cyber nature--have become increasingly transnational. While criminals may operate across geographic borders and jurisdictional boundaries, law enforcement may not be able to do so with the same ease. Moreover, obstacles such as disparities between the legal regimens of nations (what is considered a crime in one country may not be in another) and differences in willingness to extradite suspected criminals can hamper prosecutions. The law enforcement community has, however, expanded its working relationships with both domestic and international agencies."

Obama Administration's Cybersecurity Proposal: Criminal Provisions [July 29, 2011]
"Responding to ongoing concerns over the state of U.S. cybersecurity, the Obama Administration released a report containing a proposal for significant cybersecurity legislation on May 12, 2011. The Administration's proposal contains seven sections and addresses many different subject areas. This report examines the first section of the Administration's proposal, dealing with criminal law. That section would supplement the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act (CFAA) by adding a mandatory three-year minimum penalty for damaging certain critical infrastructure computers, increase the penalties for most violations of the CFAA, modify the conspiracy and forfeiture provisions of the CFAA, and make felony violation of the CFAA a racketeering predicate offense. This report also compares the Administration's proposal to bills pending before the House of Representatives and the Senate. Although Congress is considering many bills addressing cybersecurity, there are relatively few which would modify computer crime laws such as the CFAA. The bills which do address computer crime differ in significant ways from the Administration's proposal, though they would accomplish some of the same goals."

Industrial College of the Armed Forces: Industry Studies 2001: Financial Services
The US financial services industry is an important contributor to the economic power of the nation. The industry is in excellent health -- well capitalized, dynamic, and innovative. Recent legislative changes have altered the structure of the industry by allowing banks, insurance companies, and securities dealers to consolidate into large "financial holding companies" that cut across industry sectors. US financial services firms are also positioning to compete here and abroad with international firms. Advances in information technology continue to provide opportunities for firms to increase business and customer service, but also create an industry risk in the form of cyber crime. The industry will continue to be competitive, but profitable, and will remain well positioned to support continued US leadership in the global economy.

Transnational Threats: Blending Law Enforcement and Military Strategies
"On February 2-3, 2000, the U.S. Army War College, the Triangle Institute for Security Studies, and the Duke University Center for Law, Ethics, and National Security co-sponsored a conference in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. The conference examined transnational threats, including terrorism involving weapons of mass destruction, cyber threats to the national infrastructure, and international organized crime. The goal was to evaluate the seriousness of such threats and discuss strategies for dealing with them. In particular, the conference sought to address the question of how military and law enforcement could blend their strategies to better counter transnational threats. A secondary purpose was to clarify the role of the military in meeting challenges that transcend national borders and threaten our national interests. This book highlights some of the main issues and themes that ran through the conference. After looking at the various threats and undertaking a risk assessment, the report considers the unique aspects of transnational threats, and then identifies the key challenges facing the United States, paying particular attention to the role of the military. The book concludes with discussions of some of the steps that should be taken to secure ourselves against transnational threats."

S. Hrg. 106-486: Cyber Attack: Is the Government Safe? Hearing before the Committee on Governmental Affairs, United States Senate, One Hundred Sixth Congress, Second Session, March 2, 2000
From the opening statement of Fred Thompson: "The Committee on Governmental Affairs is holding this hearing on the ability of the Federal Government to protect against and respond to potential cyber attacks. This Committee spent considerable time during the last Congress examining the state of Federal Government information systems. Numerous Governmental Affairs Committee hearings and General Accounting Office reports uncovered and identified systemic failures of government information systems, which highlighted our Nation's vulnerability to computer attacks from international and domestic terrorists, to crime rings, to everyday hackers. S. 1993 begins where the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 and the Clinger-Cohen Act of 1996 left off. These laws and the Computer Security Act of 1987 provide the basic framework for managing information security. The proponents of this bill recognize that these are not the only things that need to be done. Some have suggested we provide specific standards in the legislation. Others have recommended we establish a new position of a national chief information officer or even a national security czar. These things should be considered and these issues and more will be brought up during our hearing today." Statements, letters, and material submitted for the record include those of the following: Fred Thompson, Joseph I. Lieberman, Daniel K. Akaka, Susan M. Collins, John Edwards, James Adams, Jack L. Brock, Jr., Roberta L. Gross, Kevin Mitnick, Kenneth Watson, and a copy of S. 1993.

Offline Forensic Analysis Of Microsoft® Windows® XP Physical Memory
"The rise of cyber crimes combined with the recent use of computer viruses and malicious programs that reside only in volatile main memory demand further development of appropriate forensic tools. Existing forensic tools that analyze non-volatile memory are not capable of analyzing volatile memory and the few tools that are capable of detailed analysis of volatile memory are not openly available to the public. In this thesis, an open source tool is developed to analyze images of physical memory originating from the Windows XP and Windows 2003 Server operating systems. The tool, named Windows Physical Memory Offline Analyzer (WPMOA), scans the memory image and, utilizing input from the user, extracts relevant data from the various structures maintained by the Windows operating system. The WPMOA program automatically generates reports about the image and provides key information necessary for a user to perform additional manual investigation of the image beyond what is done automatically. This thesis details instructions on the preparation and use of the program, initial testing results of the program with actual physical memory images, and C language code for the program itself."

Virtual Currency: Financial Innovation and National Security Implications, Hearing Before the Subcommittee on Terrorism and Illicit Finance of the Committee on Financial Services, U.S. House of Representatives, One Hundred Fifteenth Congress, First Session, June 8, 2017
This testimony compilation is from the June 8, 2017 hearing, "Virtual Currency: Financial Innovation and National Security Implications," before the U.S. House of Representatives Committee on Financial Services. From the witness testimony of Luke Wilson: "Today's hearing on 'Virtual Currency: Financial Innovation and National Security Implications' is a very good first step forward towards understanding this quickly-evolving technology. My previous employment with the FBI allowed me to investigate several crimes that involved Bitcoin. My experience is that Bitcoin is not, or should not be, alarming to investigators or private companies. Bitcoin is thought to be anonymous by some criminals, in reality it's far from anonymous, and companies like Elliptic have assisted law enforcement and private industry to identify who is behind illicit Bitcoin transactions. Elliptic's software and expertise has assisted in terrorism, ransomware, cyber extortion, and illegal arms trafficking cases, to name a few. In all of these cases we have provided intelligence and leads that help investigators to trace Bitcoin transactions and identify who is transacting. This is all made possible by the record of transactions kept on the blockchain. All Bitcoin transactions are stored on the blockchain, including those performed by criminals. The importance of the blockchain record cannot and should not be undervalued, as it provides a public, permanent and incorruptible record of transactions, the like of which is not available with any other payment method."

This is the May 13, 2014 hearing on "Economic Espionage and Trade Secret Theft: Are Our Laws Adequate for Today's Threats?," held before the Subcommittee on Crime and Terrorism of the Committee on the Judiciary. From the opening statement of Sheldon Whitehouse: "We are having a hearing today that is entitled ''Economic Espionage and Trade Secret Theft: Are Our Laws Adequate for Today's Threats?'' Today the Subcommittee is going to explore how we can better protect American businesses from those who try to steal their valuable intellectual property. American companies are renowned as being the most innovative in the world. Companies of every size and in every industry, from manufacturing to software to biotechnology to aerospace, own large portfolios of legally protected trade secrets they have developed and innovated. In some cases, the ''secret sauce'' may be a company's most valuable asset. The theft of these secrets can lead to devastating consequences. For small businesses it can be a matter of life and death. The risk of trade secret theft has been around as long as there have been secrets to protect. There is a reason why Coca-Cola has kept its formula locked away in a vault for decades. But in recent years, the methods used to steal trade secrets have become more sophisticated. Companies now must confront the reality that they are being attacked on a daily basis by cyber criminals who are determined to steal their intellectual property."

Fact Sheet: The USA Patriot Act: A Proven Homeland Security Tool [December 14, 2005]
In this press release, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) benefits significantly from the USA Patriot Act and urges the United States Congress to reauthorize this proven tool in the global war on terror. The Patriot Act breaks down barriers to information sharing, enabling law enforcement and intelligence personnel to share information that is needed to help connect the dots and disrupt potential terror and criminal activity before they can carry out their plots. The broad information sharing provisions better enables U.S. Customs and Border Protection to screen international visitors and determine whether an apprehended alien presents a threat to security or public safety. The Patriot Act also enhances DHS investigations into the international movement of illicit funds through money transmittal businesses, bulk cash smuggling and cyber crimes.
