This group began as a list for computer scientists/security professionals and those interested in learning how to use the power of the Internet to get information. Members include people in many professions (i.e. computer scientists, lawyers, private investigators, law enforcement, skip tracers, etc.). The list will target topics discussed on the Spies Online website, computer security/privacy issues, private investigation, and legal issues in the news (discussion, NOT advice). Whether you are a PI or investigative professional, someone interested in keeping abreast of the latest in computer/investigative news, someone needing help checking out a cybersweetie, or a fan of the Spies Online website, this is the list for you! There is a digest version that combines all messages for the day into one big message with a table of contents for those who desire it. Check out our forum:
