A tenured computer security professor at Indiana University and his university-employed wife have not been seen publicly since federal agents raided their homes late last week.<\/p>\n

On Friday, the FBI with help from the cops searched<\/a> two properties<\/a> in Bloomington and Carmel, Indiana, belonging to Xiaofeng Wang, a professor at the Indiana Luddy School of Informatics, Computing, and Engineering – who’s been with the American university for more than 20 years – and Nianli Ma, a lead library systems analyst and programmer also at the university.<\/p>\n

The university has removed the professor’s profile<\/a> from its website, while the Indiana Daily Student reports<\/a> Wang was axed the same day the Feds swooped. It’s said the college learned the professor had taken a job at a university in Singapore, leading to the boffin’s termination by his US employer. Ma’s university profile has also<\/a> vanished.<\/p>\n
