A few years later at age 17 he was visited by the friendly federal police, which caused him to reconsider his illegal hobbies. A year later he was hired as a professional hacker by an IT security firm. Jody has been employed as a professional ethical hacker for 12 years, specialising in web vulnerabilities and corporate espionage techniques. He is currently based in Melbourne as an Information Security Specialist with CQR Consulting. en Copyright 2012 The Punch penberthyd@newsltd.com.au penberthyd@newsltd.com.au Sat, 26 May 2012 20:00:40 +0000 Sat, 26 May 2012 20:00:40 +0000 Politics, opinion, world news, sports news, latest news, views, Barack Obama, Kevin Rudd, Julia Gillard, Nathan Rees, Malcolm Turnbull, Peter Garrett, Barnaby Joyce, Australian, federal politics, opinion polls, election, The Punch, thepunch, punch ExpressionEngine 1.6.7 http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/tech/rss 15 http://www.thepunch.com.au/images/punch-logo-rss.png http://www.thepunch.com.au/ 144 70 Politics, political opinion, world news, sports news and the latest news and views updated live, daily on The Punch - Australia's best conversation.

If you were skimming the headlines, you might think this story is somehow related to Google blocked searches and Chinese Government censorship. That is how it is being presented in much of the mainstream press, both locally and internationally. For those who missed the initial story: Early last week Google suddenly announced that it may suspend its operations in China due to a highly sophisticated attack against its corporate network. Within days, it was revealed that up to 30 other tech companies (including Adobe) had been targeted by the same attackers. feedback@thepunch.com.au (Jody Melbourne) Article http://www.thepunch.com.au/articles/china-vs-google-a-thrilling-tale-of-it-espionage/#comments http://www.thepunch.com.au/articles/china-vs-google-a-thrilling-tale-of-it-espionage/#item2219 Sun, 24 Jan 2010 19:45:45 +0000 Jody Melbourne | Author bios | The Punch
