Brad Smith Work Quotations

It finally gives us the kind of specificity and clarity that we need in order to work in a constructive way and to move all these issues forward.

We have important work ahead of us to strengthen computer security but we've also come a long ways in a short time, and the fact that we were able to see these arrests in less than two weeks and see them halfway around the world really drives that point home.

We did some real good things. We had some peaks and valleys all through the tournament, but overall, it's something our program can be proud of and work for the future.

We congratulate the Turkish and Moroccan authorities and the FBI for finding and apprehending the alleged distributors of the Zotob and Rbot (Mytob) worms so quickly. These arrests demonstrate the value of public-private collaboration ? the first-class investigative work by the authorities and ?round-the-clock technical and investigative support provided by our Internet Crime Investigations Team here at Microsoft.

This arrest demonstrates the value of public-private collaboration -- the first-class investigative work by the authorities and round-the-clock technical and investigative support provided by our internet crime investigations team here at Microsoft, ... the results (of the arrests) show clearly that cybercriminals will be identified, apprehended, and held accountable for their actions.

I'm very optimistic about the new opportunity that we now have. It finally gives us the specificity and clarity that we need to work in a constructive way.
