CIA Invests In Anti-Cybercrime Startup

Posted by samzenpus on from the silent-partners dept.

wiredmikey writes "Launched by the CIA in 1999, In-Q-Tel's mission is to identify and partner with companies developing cutting-edge technologies that serve the national security interests of the United States. In-Q-Tel has invested an undisclosed sum in Silver Tail Systems, an emerging online fraud prevention and analytics company, an investment they say enables them to offer powerful technology companies in the US intelligence community and further protect the nation's assets."

      A wrong image perhaps...but now I've got something to replace reciting baseball scores with when I next have to uh cross the finish line second.
