If you’ve spent this past workweek furiously trying to figure where I’d wind up for this installment of Tech Essentials (and hopefully win your office betting pool), you can now put your pencils down because I’ve arrived in Pisa, Italy.
This week, I’m visiting you from a nondescript vacant lot on the outskirts of Pasadena, California. “Armand,” you ask. “You’re a long way from Davos! You’re usually in such posh locations when you report to us for Tech Essentials.”
Greetings from Lagos, Nigeria! I’m here to meet up with a very wealthy prince who is generously willing to share in his vast fortune with me if I can just “do the needful” and give him some innocuous information about myself.
Armand here again—this time from Langley, VA, home of the US Central Intelligence Agency. Why am I hanging out near the HQ of the world’s foremost spy organization? To make a point about how cybercrime vs cybersecurity is very much a cat and mouse, spy vs. spy affair.
