Security Fix just learned that Steven Rambam, the owner of a company
that bills itself as the largest privately held online investigative
service in the United States, was arrested this afternoon by FBI agents
just moments before he was to lead a panel discussion on privacy here
at the HOPE hacker conference in New York City.

Details are sketchy at the moment, but Rambam's fellow panelists said
four men clad in dark blue FBI jackets quietly entered the auditorium,
asked Rambam if he had any weapons on him, and then escorted him out
the door along with his laptop and other equipment that contained the
PowerPoint slides that were to make up the bulk of his scheduled
two-hour presentation.
