Biography:
Gregory D. Evans, innovator, publisher, and industry leader, is a recognized expert in computer security and hi-tech crimes. Mr. Evans is the founder of LIGATT Security and the Technology Crimes Institute (TCI). Through TCI, Mr. Evans currently teaches over twelve hi-tech crime courses, ranging from computer crime investigation and identity theft, to password cracking and recovery. These classes are taught throughout southern California at community colleges, universities and within city government. Some of these schools include Chaffey College, Santa Monica College, Irvine Valley College, Cal. State Los Angeles, Pepperdine University, Rancho Santiago College, and Cal State San Marcos.
Technology Crimes Institute (http://www.technocrime.com/) hasn't been updated since 2005, and has since merged with AlixPartners, "a global firm of senior business and consulting professionals that specializes in improving corporate financial and operational performance, executing corporate turnarounds and providing litigation consulting and forensic accounting services when it really matters". This "institute" hasn't provided any serious technology or learning since inception.
Before starting LIGATT, Mr. Evans was the founder of a publicly-traded computer security company called The Cyber Group Network Corporation which specialized in stolen computer recovery. As CEO of the company, Mr. Evans designed and invented the first wireless tracking device for computers titled, the Electronic Snitching Device, better known as e-snitch (www.electronicsnitch.com). E-Snitch can track a stolen computer almost anywhere in the world within 50 feet. He has also designed www.missingcomputers.com, a free website that allows victims of a computer theft to report their loss. While at the helm of The Cyber Group Network Mr. Evans also designed Password Protection Information Retrieval Technology (PPIRT). PPIRT is the first security software of its kind that includes a 2,048 bit encryption program and computer recovery technology. PPIRT has the ability to track stolen computers over the Internet and across landline telephones.
The claims made by Evans about E-snitch are outlandish and pure fiction. This explains why both web sites mentioned above did not make it very long.
