"Anonymizer.com Launches 'Operation Safe Investigation' to Help Law Enforcement and Journalism Professionals Maintain Anonymity and Safety Online" PRNewswire (09/06/01) NLECTC Law Enforcement & Corrections Technology News Summary Thursday, September 13, 2001 ... Anonymizer.com just debuted its "Operation Safe Investigation" program to protect the identities of law enforcement agents and journalists conducting investigations via the Internet. Under the program, the company will allocate as many as 25 user licenses for its Anonymous Surfing service. Accounts remain active for a period of three months, but participants will receive an option to continue using the licenses at a reduced cost in the future. Law enforcement officials require anonymity to conduct investigations about the activities of Web surfers suspected of criminal activities and for accessing certain Web sites that show different Web pages based on a user's identity. In addition to allowing investigators to effectively conceal their identities, the service provides protection from various security and privacy threats found on the Web.
