State of Play VI: Malevolent Mashups

By Roderick Jones

I had the pleasure of hosting the Security and Surveillance panel discussion at the State of Play VI conference at New York Law School last week. The panel was designed to try and explore ideas around security and surveillance in virtual worlds. While the overall title of the conference was 'plateau' the feeling on the panel was that constant innovation within and outside of virtual worlds would continue to create new security challenges. Michael Schrage coined the phrase 'Malevolent Mashups', which seemed to describe the future challenge.
