Congressman Greg Walden, the chair of the House sub-committee, which deals with the Internet, was in Bend at the OSU Cascades building to talk about computer security yesterday (Monday).
Walden and En-Trust C.E.O Bill Connor talked about the need for a “layered” approach to computer security, and how government is working with the private sector to help protect people and business.
Walden says that computer hacking as gone from a hobby for people who loved computer programming to a weapon being used by criminals and foreign government to steal information and money from unsuspecting internet users.
