I just heard the awful news that Professor Ross Anderson has died suddenly at home in Cambridge, UK.

He was a long time and tireless campaigner, an outstanding thinker and writer on a wide-spectrum of privacy and security matters.

I am shocked and saddened.

I’m truly saddened to hear about the passing of Professor Fred Piper. He was instrumental in founding the Information Security Group at Royal Holloway, University of London, in 1990. As an alumni I have very fond memories of Fred and all the faculty.

We should prize our great teachers and our great mentors and the legacy they leave our world — their students, their ideas, and their vision.

RIP, Fred … you laid the foundation for us to build on. Our world needs great leaders, teachers and mentors.

I think it was Gary Halbert who said “Most people don’t understand that success is a process and not an event, and most people want the miracle answer right now! They want the $10 book that tells them where to find the magic genie and where on his belly to rub to make the money rain out of they sky.”

I like to party! And when I say ‘party’ I mean reading the latest edition of Mountain Rescue.
