I lecture on a wide variety of topics involving technology. The presentations below are designed to be appropriate for any occasion and audience. Custom presentations are available based on your needs and the length can be altered.

How Hackers Commit Their Crimes (2 Hours) [DVD Available] This popular session focuses on recent trends in online fraud. It covers all of the internet scams, frauds, and ways that suspects steal your identity. I also discuss the details of how hackers commit their crimes, and what any person can do to protect themselves. The audience will learn immediately how data mining, password hackers, wireless networks, and cellular telephones are an emerging threat against them. Live examples of 'hacking' into your information will astonish the audience, while detailed solutions will be displayed to stop the threat. Free software solutions will be presented toward the end of the class. This session can be customized for a shorter time span.

The End of Privacy - Personal Information on the Internet (2 Hours) This presentation identifies many unknown repositories of personal information available to anyone on the internet. Through data mining companies and those that post personal information about others, data once considered private is now public. This look at our new lack of privacy will surprise even those that think they are not vulnerable. Over 120 sources of online information will be discussed. Aside from web sites, other technology such as digital camera data, document meta data, and files being unknowingly copied to your computer will be explained. Here is a partial list of resources that will be demonstrated live.

Using the Internet to conduct Background Checks (2 Hours) This lecture is designed for personnel responsible for conducting background checks or investigating someone's history. The audience will be shown how to "dig" into the internet for clues about the true history of the applicant. While popular sites such as MySpace and Facebook are covered in great detail, the presentation goes much deeper into the vast resources available online for researching potential employees. Over 100 sources of online information will be discussed. Here is a partial list of resources that will be explained and tested live.

Protecting Your Business' Online Presence (2 Hours) [DVD Available] This interactive session identifies and demonstrates several methods of protecting your business' presence and image on the internet. Techniques to search for public and private commentary, reviews, and various information relevant to your business will be conducted live including methods to automate the process and bring the results to you. These queries will discover publicly available information that could harm an organization including complaints about service, employee information, comments from individuals, photos that can be tracked to the company, employee activity online, employee profiles, private emails, inaccurate information, confidential documents, and even private customer data exposure. Previous demonstrations have displayed that entire drives full of company documents were visible online by anyone with an internet connection. The audience will learn how to monitor social networking sites for mention of their business, how to respond to negative information posted to online communities, and how to control the information presented to potential customers through search engines and mobile applications. Solutions to solve all of these issues will be presented, as well as direct links to the sites that will help one identify the problems.

Eliminating traces of your identity on the Internet (1 Hour) This presentation acknowledges that way too much information is available about each and every one of us on the Internet. The focus is eliminating as much information as we can. The audience will observe each step of this process and learn the results of the attempts. A sample of some of the sites that will be demonstrated is located at THIS LINK. This presentation is a great starting point to understanding how data mining sites are collecting your information. This approach will create awareness with the audience of the way our habits help those that sell our information.

Conducting a "Self Background Check" (1 Hour) This session explains additional resources available that allows someone to request their own personal information. Completing each one of these requests will identify both valid and inaccurate information being reported about you to many industries including credit, insurance, banking, and government. The resources discussed here are completely different than the Using the Internet to Discover Personal Information, Using the Internet for Background Checks, or Eliminating traces of your identity on the Internet. This session pairs well with any of these other presentations. Here is a partial list of resources that will be explained and tested live.

Child Safety on the Internet for Parents (2 Hours) [DVD Available] In this session discuss how predators lure children into becoming victims, and how parents can stop this from happening. I go way beyond what has been seen on 'Dateline'. I also cover Cell Phones, MySpace, FaceBook, Cyber Bullying, Chat Rooms, and other forms of communication that predators use. Most of this session is conducted live on the Internet with real examples of the procedures discussed. Parents will gain a deeper understanding of the advanced dangers on the internet, and acquire useful knowledge of simple steps that can be taken to prevent their children from becoming victims.

Child Safety on the Internet for Children (2 Hours) [DVD Available] Designed for middle school students, this session warns them about the dangers of the Internet. Unlike most presentations that talk down to the children, this presentation acknowledges that most children know more about computers than their parents, and most are aware that predators exist. I show them real life examples of what happens when they let their guard down. I also cover Cell Phones, MySpace, FaceBook, Cyber Bullying, Chat Rooms, and other forms of communication that predators use. This program encourages honesty with parents, and pairs well with the program above.

Child Safety on the Internet for Teens (2 Hours) [DVD Available] Designed for High School students, this session shows them the new advanced ways that predators are stalking them without them knowing it. While many students realize that predators are present, they do not realize the amount of information a predator can receive without contact with the victim. I discuss photos on the internet and advanced ways that predators use search engines to stalk their prey. I also cover Cell Phones, MySpace, FaceBook, Cyber Bullying, Chat Rooms, and other forms of communication that predators use.

Social Networking Sites (2 Hours) This lecture dwells deeper into the world of Social Network sites such as Myspace and Facebook. There are dozens of popular sites that parent's miss, but the predators don't. I discuss how children are becoming smarter about hiding their multiple profiles from parents and teachers, but the predators know the tricks to find them. Live examples from the community where presented will be used to focus on the issues in one's own neighborhood.

Computer Maintenance and Repair (2 Hours) [DVD Available] This helpful class teaches people of all ages how to maintain their computers and how to clean out all the junk that slows their computers down. Techniques shown will identify and remove the various viruses and malicious software present in most computers today. Experiments are done live in class and everyone should gain a new understanding of why their computer has 'aged'. Free software solutions will be presented toward the end of the class.

DVDs are also an optional purchase as part of the live presentation or training session. Each member of the audience can take home a personalized DVD similar to the event at an additional cost of only $10 per disc. Contact sales@computercrimeinfo.com for more details.
