Xanga gets serious about security…maybe
Experienced Cybercrime Prosecutor to Lead Xanga’s Safety Efforts; New Officer Part of Xanga’s Commitment to Online Safety:
This is a press release from Xanga but it’s still pretty impressive…
NEW YORK, Aug. 1 /U.S. Newswire/ — As part of its comprehensive approach to online safety, Xanga has hired experienced cybercrime prosecutor, Stephen Kline, to lead the company’s safety and compliance initiatives as Chief Safety Officer. Since 2000, Kline has worked in the New York Attorney General’s office as an Assistant Attorney General in its Internet Bureau, where he has investigated and prosecuted numerous high- profile Internet-based fraud and compliance violations in both state and federal courts.
During Kline’s six years with the Attorney General’s office he:
– Prosecuted the first enforcement action of the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act
– Jointly prosecuted with the FTC a group of more than 60 adult Web sites for hundreds of millions of dollars in credit card fraud –- the largest case of its kind ever
– Prosecuted several spam operations, including some of the world’s most notorious spammers
– Served as an expert lecturer for law enforcement and attorneys on compliance with Internet-related laws
“Xanga is an industry leader because of its innovative approach and strong commitment to safety,” Kline said. “I’m looking forward to working with both the Xanga team and law enforcement in order to continue to offer Xanga users a safe place to express themselves.”
I wonder if this means that Xanga will finally get serious about it’s webrings of pedophiles.
