John Bandler's work in cybersecurity, cybercrime, and privacy
"Cyber" typically means involving the Internet, computers, cybercrime, or cybersecurity. It's sort of a buzzword but focusing on cybercrime and cybersecurity is a good start.
Here's a page about me and some of the work I have done relating to cybersecurity, cybercrime, and privacy:
- Attorney and consultant in the areas of cybersecurity, cybercrime, privacy, and information management. Founder and principal of Bandler Law Firm PLLC and Bandler Group LLC. A law firm and a consulting practice to help with cybersecurity, cybercrime, investigations, data privacy, anti-money laundering, compliance, governance, and more (2015 - present).
- Former prosecutor of cybercrime. As an assistant district attorney at the Manhattan DA’s office (2002 - 2015) and hired by the legendary Robert M. Morgenthau, I headed a successful pioneering prosecution of a complex cybercrime case resulting in guilty pleas and then guilty verdicts after trial. This was a ground breaking investigation and prosecution into international cybercrime trafficking of stolen data and money laundering with virtual currency and through the conventional financial system.
