Chris MC DONALD, SECRETARY

Chris Mc Donald graduated from the University of San Francisco in 1970 with a degree in English. Chris then worked for the next thirty-four plus years for various Department of Defense and Department of the Army agencies in the fields of counterintelligence, information assurance, and investigations. His final assignments were at White Sands Missile Range, New Mexico.
He is the author or co-author of dozens of technical reports and presentations on computer viruses, computer network intrusions, and the survivability/vulnerability of information systems. Chris served as the project officer for the first series of computer virus experiments conducted on Army computer systems in 1984 by Fred Cohen, a USC graduate student. This seminal work influenced the National Security Agency trusted computing system development program and preceded the arrival of a commercial anti-viral software industry. Chris also played a behind-the-scenes role in the identification and eventual prosecution of the so-called "Wily Hackers" who successfully attacked dozens of defense contractor, Department of Defense, Department of Energy, NASA, and university computer systems during the 1986-1987 timeframe. Dr. Clifford Stoll documented this first case of computer espionage in his book The Cuckoo's Egg.
Chris and Mary Bochmann, his wife who was a manager at White Sands, attended their first Black Box performance in November 2000, The Heidi Chronicles. As they drove home after the show, they decided to become active Black Box volunteers when they retired in February 2003. Unfortunately Mary died in an accident in December 2000. But in the tradition of the "show must go on", Chris became a financial donor upon retirement and has now gladly accepted the responsibility to serve as a board member.
