Former agent Scott Larson served in the FBI for 13 years and was one of the original 13 FBI Laboratory-certified Computer Analysis and Response Team (CART) field examiners. He reviews the Solar Sunrise case where, as the lead investigator, he tracked cyber intrusions into over 200 Department of Defense (DoD) computer systems. The highly sensitive international investigation revealed the identities of the culprits responsible for the hacking and data breach of military sites initially thought to be the work of hostile foreign entities.
