Anti-fraud researcher faces fraud charges

One of the researchers behind ScanAlert, the "Hacker Safe" certification company McAfee recently acquired, is facing fraud charges in Indiana.

Brett Oliphant, whose title had been vice president of security services before the Napa, California, company was acquired by McAfee in January, is facing 11 counts of securities fraud in transactions that allegedly brought in more than $1.215 million.

Oliphant and his brother Bryan were charged in December. Their trial is set for November 18 at the Elkhart County Superior Court in Indiana.
