Lawsuit
In 2003, Griffith was served with a cease and desist letter from Blackboard, Inc. He and a friend had discovered security vulnerabilities within the company's software and had planned to give a talk at Interz0ne 2 regarding them, but they were thwarted when they were served with the papers. Just two days later a lawsuit was filed against the pair. Allegedly, they stole trade secrets and were in violation of the DMCA and the Espionage and Sedition Act. They eventually settled the lawsuit. -
