For Immediate Release
Washington, DC, December 21, 2009 -- Cybercrime TV is inviting experts to address 600 policy makers at the International School Safety Convention in Denver, Colorado, April 22-23, 2010, as part of a special session on cyber threats faced by schools, students, teachers, and parents.
The program chair for the session is Andy Purdy, former U.S. Department of Homeland Security cyber head, and founder of Cybercrime TV. High-definition television highlights of the proceedings will be distributed to media outlets worldwide. Cybercrime TV will also produce with participating speakers print materials and interactive presentations.
Purdy expects topics to include cyber security, cyber bullying, sexting, illegal file sharing, online predators, privacy issues, and potential threats to "middle-mile" broadband projects that connect schools to community responders. Purdy is particularly interested in announcements about new initiatives that can impact legislation and national investment in securing schools.
Purdy's invitation extends to book authors, filmmakers, documentary producers, researchers, lawmakers, community leaders, and technology developers.
Participants can use the website, Cybercrime.TV, to prepare for the convention and build a community of interest around their themes.

Former DHS Cyber Head Creates Cybercrime.TV
Washington, DC, November 27, 2009 -- Former DHS cyber head Andy Purdy launched Cybercrime.TV today, an online development site for producers, directors, writers, experts, and others joining him in launching a television network that focuses on cyber criminals and those who enable them.
"Cybercrime.TV is an online network for television people and computer people to work together," said Purdy.
The website provides tools to develop new projects and showcase them for production financing through Purdy and his associates. Membership is free, and members can upload videos and proposals, create groups, create forums, publish papers and articles, announce events, and publicize their programs.
Cybercrime.TV, as a television network, will focus on all aspects of cybercrime in the form of news and talk shows, specials, movies, and original series.
Topics of greatest interest to Purdy include cybersecurity, cyber terrorism, cyberstalking, encryption, financial crime, financial espionage, hackers, identity theft, information assurance, information warfare, Internet fraud, Internet privacy, Internet safety, malware, money laundering, network security, online predators, phishing, pirated software, social engineering, spamming, spoofing, spyware, and viruses.
Purdy is also interested in new exciting technologies that address cyber risk.
A frequent speaker at international conferences on cybersecurity, Purdy often points out that there is no adequate framework for collaboration between governments and the private sector against cybercrime.
Purdy's vision is to now engage the public with awareness-raising television programming brought about through online collaboration. Today's launch of Cybercrime.TV is the first step in that direction.
