State licensing started in December.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.latimes.com/business/la-fi-marijuana-qa-20171225-story.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Lori Ajax\u003c/a> is chief of California’s \u003ca href=\"http://www.bcc.ca.gov/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Bureau of Cannabis Control\u003c/a>, which is taking the lead on developing marijuana regulations. The state has the final say on who is licensed to grow, manufacture, sell, test and distribute cannabis products. While California isn’t the first state to legalize marijuana, Ajax says it presents unique challenges.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Just the sheer size and geographics of this state makes it a little bit more complicated,\" she says. \"And also having to deal with so many different cities and counties.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At least one astute observer of California's cannabis industry thinks the state is doing pretty well so far. David Downs runs \u003ca href=\"http://www.greenstate.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Greenstate.com\u003c/a> for the San Francisco Chronicle. He’s also the newspaper’s cannabis editor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I gotta say the state is kind of slaying it right now,\" he says. \"They’re doing an amazing job.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Downs says the state wasn’t obligated to begin issuing licenses until January.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The Bureau of Cannabis Control started issuing those licenses mid-December,\" he says. \"And that kind of took everybody by surprise.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Where you live in California will determine how big a change you'll see come New Year’s Day. That’s because the law allows individual municipalities to either license or ban cannabis businesses, and a number of California cities are taking a wait-and-see approach.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tim Cromartie is with the \u003ca href=\"https://www.cacities.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">League of California Cities\u003c/a>. He says communities are all over the map. Some allow cultivation, but not retail. Others will allow cannabis delivery operations, but not storefronts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Generally I think it’s true that the coastal cities are more inclined to allow some form of at least one or two of the licensed activities,\" he says. \"And as you get further inland, folks are more likely to embrace bans.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some of those bans might disappear if tax revenue starts coming in as projected. The industry is expected to bring in billions in tax dollars every year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The profit potential is drawing a lot of new entrepreneurs as well. Chris Russell is with a financial management firm that caters specifically to pot businesses.

Advocates for farmworkers and for efforts to reduce the use of dangerous chemicals in the agricultural industry say it's time to bring more teeth to enforcement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The current fines amount to pocket change for large-scale growers,\" said Paul Towers, organizing director at \u003ca href=\"http://www.panna.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Pesticide Action Network North America\u003c/a>. \"Until the penalties are significant enough, they'll fail to deter problems with pesticide drifts in the future.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Increasing fines will incentivize growers, farm labor contractors and those who apply pesticides to follow the rules, said Caroline Cox, a senior scientist at the Oakland-based Center for Environmental Health.

In the process of investigating that incident, the commissioner learned that at around the same time the workers were getting sick, a helicopter was spraying Vulcan, which contains \u003ca href=\"http://www.capradio.org/articles/2017/12/01/chlorpyrifos-makes-california-list-of-most-dangerous-chemicals/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">chlorpyrifos\u003c/a>, which is now on the state's list of substances known to cause cancer, birth defects and reproductive harm, on a nearby field.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Several months ago, Kern County issued a similar fine against two companies for violating pesticide rules in an \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2017/08/08/produce-company-behind-popular-cuties-fined-over-pesticide-drift/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">incident\u003c/a> that sickened 37 workers harvesting cabbage near Maricopa in May. One of the firms that faced penalties was Sun Pacific, the produce company behind the popular Cuties mandarins and clementines.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The county agricultural commissioner's investigation found that Vulcan and Cosavet DF, which contains sulfur, drifted a half-mile into an area where the farm employees were working.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sun Pacific has contested the penalty and a hearing on the case is scheduled for March, according to Kern County Agricultural Commissioner Glenn Fankhauser.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In June a chemical release that sickened six raspberry pickers in Watsonville prompted an investigation by the Santa Cruz County agricultural commissioner into several companies, including two firms affiliated with the Dole Food Co. and another tied to Driscoll's, a major berry distributor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That came a week after 18 celery workers were sickened in Salinas, possibly by an insecticide, prompting an investigation by the Monterey County agricultural commissioner.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Santa Cruz and Monterey county officials say the investigations into those incidents have yet to be completed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>KQED's Sonja Hutson contributed to this story.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Note: The California Farm Bureau Federation issued a revised statement after the publication of this story.

The current fine amounts are the same as a \"slap on the wrist,\" she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Pushback from Farm Bureau\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At least one agricultural industry group is questioning whether the proposal will be effective.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We have met with DPR and are trying to understand the need for the increased authority and fine threshold,\" said Cynthia Cory, director of environmental affairs for the California Farm Bureau Federation, in an emailed statement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The Farm Bureau supports penalties and prompt enforcement for violation of the safe use of chemicals,\" Cory said. \"The best prevention to insure pesticides are handled correctly is continued education, which we fully support and help our farmers and ranchers obtain.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cory noted that agricultural commissioners can push for stronger penalties against pesticide violators by asking local prosecutors to pursue more egregious cases.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The association that represents agricultural commissioners has yet to take a position on the proposal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We are internally reviewing the bill,\" said Sandy Elles, executive director of the California Agricultural Commissioners and Sealers Association, in an email, adding that the group's legislative committee is gathering feedback from its members.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We are carefully assessing the bill's impact to the state-county pesticide enforcement partnership,\" Elles said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Quirk emphasized that his office was working with farmworker advocates and industry representatives in talks that could lead to changes to his bill, which is scheduled to be heard in the Environmental Safety and Toxic Materials Committee on Jan. 9.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Recent Incidents Resulted in Fines\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That hearing comes several weeks after the Kern County agricultural commissioner imposed nearly $50,000 in fines for a series of violations against five companies in connection with an \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2017/12/18/firms-fined-for-pesticide-incident-that-sickened-92-near-bakersfield/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">investigation\u003c/a> into a pesticide incident that sickened 92 garlic harvesters on the outskirts of Bakersfield last August.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That probe found that a soil fumigant, \u003ca href=\"http://www.amvac-chemical.com/Product-Details/pid/202\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Vapam\u003c/a>, had been injected into a nearby field, and then seeped out of the ground and drifted. In the process of investigating that incident, the commissioner learned that at around the same time the workers were getting sick, a helicopter was spraying Vulcan, which contains \u003ca href=\"http://www.capradio.org/articles/2017/12/01/chlorpyrifos-makes-california-list-of-most-dangerous-chemicals/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">chlorpyrifos\u003c/a>, which is now on the state's list of substances known to cause cancer, birth defects and reproductive harm, on a nearby field.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Several months ago, Kern County issued a similar fine against two companies for violating pesticide rules in an \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2017/08/08/produce-company-behind-popular-cuties-fined-over-pesticide-drift/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">incident\u003c/a> that sickened 37 workers harvesting cabbage near Maricopa in May. One of the firms that faced penalties was Sun Pacific, the produce company behind the popular Cuties mandarins and clementines.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The county agricultural commissioner's investigation found that Vulcan and Cosavet DF, which contains sulfur, drifted a half-mile into an area where the farm employees were working.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sun Pacific has contested the penalty and a hearing on the case is scheduled for March, according to Kern County Agricultural Commissioner Glenn Fankhauser.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In June a chemical release that sickened six raspberry pickers in Watsonville prompted an investigation by the Santa Cruz County agricultural commissioner into several companies, including two firms affiliated with the Dole Food Co. and another tied to Driscoll's, a major berry distributor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That came a week after 18 celery workers were sickened in Salinas, possibly by an insecticide, prompting an investigation by the Monterey County agricultural commissioner.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Santa Cruz and Monterey county officials say the investigations into those incidents have yet to be completed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>KQED's Sonja Hutson contributed to this story.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Note: The California Farm Bureau Federation issued a revised statement after the publication of this story. It reads: \"We have serious concerns with the bill in its current form and have communicated those concerns to the author's office. We hope to resolve these concerns, but are opposed to the bill in its current form.\"\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

During the trial, Adams wrote, the defense argued that the victim was alive on Oct. 31 and that someone other than her son could have killed her.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There were members of the jury that entertained this theory as a reasonable possibility based on the evidence,” Adams wrote to Moore. “Thankfully the jury in this case was able to render a verdict of guilt; however, the date and time of death was a real source of debate during the five days of jury deliberations.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Adams said she never received a response to her letter and doesn’t know why the sheriff denied the request for Omalu to visit the crime scene.

When DA Verber Salazar — then a deputy prosecutor — shared the Taser report with Omalu two years later, showing Humphreys was shocked for 2½ minutes, Omalu changed his findings in the case from accidental death to a homicide.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Steward, who was married to Humphreys for 13 years and had two daughters with him, was working for the sheriff when he died.

Steward retired this year.\u003cbr>\n[contextly_sidebar id=”2oHRBJZiMQWzdSwmcHquN077ZRk3oV9q”]\u003cbr>\nShe said that after the doctors’ allegations surfaced, she felt free to finally reveal what she knew about the night her ex-husband died.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“He (Moore) was aware of that case very early on when it was unfolding on scene,” Steward said. “As soon as that information (from the Taser) was downloaded — which is a pretty instant thing — I’m sure he was made aware of what that was.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She said an apparent lack of follow-up on that case by the district attorney’s office still bothers her.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now Steward wants the attorney general of California or some other independent agency to investigate the allegations against Moore.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think it needs to be handled by someone higher up,” Steward said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a statement this week, a spokesperson for Attorney General Xavier Becerra wrote, “To protect its integrity, we can’t comment on, even to confirm or deny, a potential or ongoing investigation.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Allegations Fuel Calls For Independent Medical Examiner\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In response to the allegations against the sheriff, a growing number of physicians — including the California Medical Association — have urged the county Board of Supervisors to create a medical examiner’s office run by physicians, who would determine both the cause and manner of suspicious deaths.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Joaquin County, like the majority of counties in California, established a sheriff-coroner system for investigating sudden, violent or suspicious deaths, and all deaths involving law enforcement. Typically the coroner, who is also the elected sheriff, hires a forensic pathologist to conduct autopsies and determine the medical causes of death, such as a heart attack or blunt-force trauma. Then the sheriff determines the manner of death: accidental, suicide, homicide, natural or undetermined — based on the autopsy findings and the investigatory findings of law enforcement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Critics of the system say having an elected official determine the manner of death presents a conflict of interest, and creates a perception, real or not, that political pressure affected the outcome.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During the public comment period at a Dec. 12 county Board of Supervisors meeting, Dr. Grant Mellor of the San Joaquin County Medical Society urged supervisors to take immediate action to protect the independence of forensic pathologists performing autopsies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is gaining national — as well as international — attention,” said Dr. Kwabena Adubofour at the same meeting, referring to reports and editorials in The Washington Post and texts he said he’d received from colleagues in London asking, “What’s going on in San Joaquin County?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>DA Verber Salazar also urged the board to create a separate medical examiner’s office.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Board of Supervisors Chair Chuck Winn said he’s waiting for the county counsel to investigate the allegations and determine if any laws were violated.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Winn said it would be “irresponsible” to make decisions until the board has all the facts gathered.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Certainly we want to make sure that everybody has an opportunity to provide their input or side as to as to what’s occurred and maybe what needs to be done in the future,” he said. “I think it’s a little early to make any decisions as to what we’re going to do until we have a chance to evaluate what the costs or the consequences the reorganization would entail.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Santa Clara County Board of Supervisors, for example, voted last year to restore the independence of medical examiners following allegations that the sheriff had interfered with death investigations by withholding evidence and pressuring forensic pathologists to change their findings. The shift resulted in an annual $800,000 increase to the county budget.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Moore said he “would fully support separation” if the Board of Supervisors and the people of San Joaquin County want it.\u003c/p>\n\n",

Typically the coroner, who is also the elected sheriff, hires a forensic pathologist to conduct autopsies and determine the medical causes of death, such as a heart attack or blunt-force trauma. Then the sheriff determines the manner of death: accidental, suicide, homicide, natural or undetermined — based on the autopsy findings and the investigatory findings of law enforcement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Critics of the system say having an elected official determine the manner of death presents a conflict of interest, and creates a perception, real or not, that political pressure affected the outcome.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During the public comment period at a Dec. 12 county Board of Supervisors meeting, Dr. Grant Mellor of the San Joaquin County Medical Society urged supervisors to take immediate action to protect the independence of forensic pathologists performing autopsies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is gaining national — as well as international — attention,” said Dr. Kwabena Adubofour at the same meeting, referring to reports and editorials in The Washington Post and texts he said he’d received from colleagues in London asking, “What’s going on in San Joaquin County?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>DA Verber Salazar also urged the board to create a separate medical examiner’s office.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Board of Supervisors Chair Chuck Winn said he’s waiting for the county counsel to investigate the allegations and determine if any laws were violated.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Winn said it would be “irresponsible” to make decisions until the board has all the facts gathered.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Certainly we want to make sure that everybody has an opportunity to provide their input or side as to as to what’s occurred and maybe what needs to be done in the future,” he said. “I think it’s a little early to make any decisions as to what we’re going to do until we have a chance to evaluate what the costs or the consequences the reorganization would entail.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Santa Clara County Board of Supervisors, for example, voted last year to restore the independence of medical examiners following allegations that the sheriff had interfered with death investigations by withholding evidence and pressuring forensic pathologists to change their findings. The shift resulted in an annual $800,000 increase to the county budget.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

His path to security work began as a federal agent, investigating international cybercrime at the NASA Office of Inspector General, tracking down hackers who tried to hijack NASA computers. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This is an interesting trend: Silicon Valley has been slowly staffing up with former agents — from the FBI, the Secret Service, or in this case, NASA. The matter even came up at a recent congressional hearing on Russia’s influence campaign on social media, where a Republican lawmaker \u003ca href=\"https://www.c-span.org/video/?436362-1/facebook-google-twitter-executives-testify-russias-influence-2016-election&start=5532\">asked a Facebook executive\u003c/a> why his company needed staff with security clearances.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a way, it’s a reflection of modern crime. Criminals send emails, follow each other on Facebook, find victims on dating sites. Tech companies don’t want to be used for criminal schemes, and hiring highly trained federal investigators helps.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=”dxqi0DRrVYpxwb9oV6IxAT2sIt8z7wl8″]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But there’s also something else. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The government doesn’t always have the birds-eye view anymore,” says Tom Pageler, a former Secret Service agent, who’s now also in the tech industry. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He says it used to be that the government had more of our data: Social Security numbers, driver’s licenses, voter registration. Now, it’s private companies that know where we go online, who we’re talking to.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think that actually what is happening today is what we were hoping for back then,” Pageler says, referring to his days in the Secret Service in the the early 2000s. There is now “a really good partnership, where well-trained individuals are going into the private industry and know how to investigate the case and package it properly for law enforcement to do what they need to do,” he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Charts on the Walls\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>I met the Zadig, the Oath threat investigations chief, at the company’s Sunnyvale headquarters for essentially a super nerdy ride-along, which is how I found myself staring at that intense chart.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The chart shows who did what to whom, where they are located, how they are connected to each other,” he says. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>His investigators can’t see the content of emails — that’s law enforcement warrant territory — but they \u003cem>can \u003c/em>connect email accounts by seeing who’s emailing whom, or whether the same phone number gets used to sign up. They can then scour the Web for social networks or other public digital trails connected to those emails and phone numbers — trying to put emails to names, faces and locations. Occasionally, they find the suspects on Facebook posing with wads of cash.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We will print these charts out 2, 3 feet wide and they’ll be longer than the conference room table,” Zadig says. “And we’ll often sit down with law enforcement prosecutors and walk them through: Here’s how this account connects to this account, here’s how we identified this person.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sometimes, Zadig says, his team would return later for a follow-up “and we’ll see these charts on the walls, law enforcement or prosecutors have marked on them, they’ve made new connections that we hadn’t made.” He says his team’s work has led to more than 150 arrests in about three years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Zadig’s team usually comes in after something illegal already happened. This includes the giant \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2017/10/03/555016024/every-yahoo-account-that-existed-in-mid-2013-was-likely-hacked\">hacks of Yahoo itself\u003c/a>, which happened in 2013 and 2014 and were disclosed by the company in late 2016. The company has not been able to identify the 2013 hack, but for the 2014 breach, the Justice Department \u003ca href=\"https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/us-charges-russian-fsb-officers-and-their-criminal-conspirators-hacking-yahoo-and-millions\">has indicted\u003c/a> four people: a Canadian hacker, \u003ca href=\"https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2017/11/canadian-man-pleads-guilty-admits-role-in-massive-2014-yahoo-hack/\">who has pleaded guilty\u003c/a>, and three Russians, two of whom are accused as agents of the Russian government.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11638345\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/12/img_3928-2f6858489b28df36f6eb17370ecb827270d4ea61-800x600.jpg\" alt=\"As a former federal agent, Zadig has a collection of these so-called challenge coins, which are exchanged by law enforcement agents during visits.\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11638345\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">As a former federal agent, Zadig has a collection of these so-called challenge coins, which are exchanged by law enforcement agents during visits. \u003ccite>(Alina Selyukh/NPR)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch2>‘We are a private company’\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Not all investigations end up being shared with law enforcement. Some spammers might simply be shut down by the internal team. Jasdeep Singh Bhalla, a software developer on Zadig’s team, showed me an automated search tool he’s been building for months to dig up all accounts one spammer might create using bots, allowing the team to shut them down in one fell swoop.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“In a matter of 30 seconds, you’ve got 70 associated accounts,” Singh Bhalla says, as a massive web of related accounts populates his screen. This is an extreme case: someone had created some 1,200 related accounts. “If you do this manually,” Singh Bhalla says, “it would take you two months to search.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And here’s an example of how a case that does end up resulting in arrests might develop inside a tech company. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A few years back, a bank alerted Yahoo that someone was hacking into accounts and switching associated email addresses to Yahoo emails. But when Zadig’s team looked in, they found something else: subject lines indicating that numerous tax filings were being completed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The bigger scheme was tax return fraud. Yahoo’s investigators could see dozens of Yahoo accounts created to file tax returns with various tax providers, indicating that numerous refunds were being issued and cashed out. (Two guys were later arrested as part of a \u003ca href=\"http://www.miamiherald.com/news/local/community/miami-dade/article45492507.html\">massive identity-theft sweep\u003c/a> in the Miami area.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=”pZkjLNGp9ojZvuA5a8r9D2od5hcvsXiP”]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For law enforcement, this kind of information is only available with a search warrant — for each email account. They might have never connected these particular dots, and definitely not this fast.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And this can be a touchy comparison. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here’s a point that Zadig made at least three times in two days: “We are not law enforcement; we work for a private company … We don’t want to be accused of being an agent of law enforcement, of doing things that would normally require a legal process.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When I asked Zadig and Pageler — who’s now the chief risk and security officer at Neustar — why they’d left public service, both offered similar stories. Those had been dream jobs — Pageler even says he’d felt physically sick to leave the Secret Service. But the hours were extreme, the travel intense, the pay not as good — both men wanted a more family-friendly lifestyle. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When Pageler was a special agent, he established the San Francisco electronic crimes task force, meant to spur exactly what he says is happening now: better coordination and cooperation between the tech companies and the government. “It’s really pretty awesome for me to see,” he says. “I feel like we’re on the path that I was working for and I think it’s working very well.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2017 NPR.

They can then scour the Web for social networks or other public digital trails connected to those emails and phone numbers — trying to put emails to names, faces and locations. Occasionally, they find the suspects on Facebook posing with wads of cash.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We will print these charts out 2, 3 feet wide and they’ll be longer than the conference room table,” Zadig says. “And we’ll often sit down with law enforcement prosecutors and walk them through: Here’s how this account connects to this account, here’s how we identified this person.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sometimes, Zadig says, his team would return later for a follow-up “and we’ll see these charts on the walls, law enforcement or prosecutors have marked on them, they’ve made new connections that we hadn’t made.” He says his team’s work has led to more than 150 arrests in about three years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Zadig’s team usually comes in after something illegal already happened. This includes the giant \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2017/10/03/555016024/every-yahoo-account-that-existed-in-mid-2013-was-likely-hacked\">hacks of Yahoo itself\u003c/a>, which happened in 2013 and 2014 and were disclosed by the company in late 2016. The company has not been able to identify the 2013 hack, but for the 2014 breach, the Justice Department \u003ca href=\"https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/us-charges-russian-fsb-officers-and-their-criminal-conspirators-hacking-yahoo-and-millions\">has indicted\u003c/a> four people: a Canadian hacker, \u003ca href=\"https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2017/11/canadian-man-pleads-guilty-admits-role-in-massive-2014-yahoo-hack/\">who has pleaded guilty\u003c/a>, and three Russians, two of whom are accused as agents of the Russian government.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11638345\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/12/img_3928-2f6858489b28df36f6eb17370ecb827270d4ea61-800x600.jpg\" alt=\"As a former federal agent, Zadig has a collection of these so-called challenge coins, which are exchanged by law enforcement agents during visits.\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11638345\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">As a former federal agent, Zadig has a collection of these so-called challenge coins, which are exchanged by law enforcement agents during visits. \u003ccite>(Alina Selyukh/NPR)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch2>‘We are a private company’\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Not all investigations end up being shared with law enforcement. Some spammers might simply be shut down by the internal team. Jasdeep Singh Bhalla, a software developer on Zadig’s team, showed me an automated search tool he’s been building for months to dig up all accounts one spammer might create using bots, allowing the team to shut them down in one fell swoop.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“In a matter of 30 seconds, you’ve got 70 associated accounts,” Singh Bhalla says, as a massive web of related accounts populates his screen. This is an extreme case: someone had created some 1,200 related accounts. “If you do this manually,” Singh Bhalla says, “it would take you two months to search.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And here’s an example of how a case that does end up resulting in arrests might develop inside a tech company. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A few years back, a bank alerted Yahoo that someone was hacking into accounts and switching associated email addresses to Yahoo emails. But when Zadig’s team looked in, they found something else: subject lines indicating that numerous tax filings were being completed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The bigger scheme was tax return fraud. Yahoo’s investigators could see dozens of Yahoo accounts created to file tax returns with various tax providers, indicating that numerous refunds were being issued and cashed out. (Two guys were later arrested as part of a \u003ca href=\"http://www.miamiherald.com/news/local/community/miami-dade/article45492507.html\">massive identity-theft sweep\u003c/a> in the Miami area.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For law enforcement, this kind of information is only available with a search warrant — for each email account. They might have never connected these particular dots, and definitely not this fast.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And this can be a touchy comparison. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here’s a point that Zadig made at least three times in two days: “We are not law enforcement; we work for a private company … We don’t want to be accused of being an agent of law enforcement, of doing things that would normally require a legal process.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When I asked Zadig and Pageler — who’s now the chief risk and security officer at Neustar — why they’d left public service, both offered similar stories. Those had been dream jobs — Pageler even says he’d felt physically sick to leave the Secret Service. But the hours were extreme, the travel intense, the pay not as good — both men wanted a more family-friendly lifestyle. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
