Homeland Security chief visits Cyber Crimes Center — latimes.com

Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano got a firsthand look Tuesday at how her agency, which defends the nation’s physical borders, also guards a volatile virtual frontier: cyberspace.

Napolitano visited the Cyber Crimes Center, which is operated by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement in a discreet office building in suburban Virginia. Known as C3, the 12-year-old unit has a staff of 35 who use their computer expertise to assist investigations of complex international crimes, especially those that victimize children.
