If you've not heard the news, Ross Anderson, professor at Cambridge and well known privacy scholar and security engineer, passed away unexpectedly at his home. A huge loss to his family, his friends, students, and colleagues, and to the community.

I've known Ross since before he finished his PhD (under Rodger Needham, who was also taken from us too soon).

I'm just stunned.

@mattblaze I always loved hanging with Ross at Cambridge (in all of the various campus instantiations). Probably the most fun was being unruly in the Fellows lunchroom. He had a very fun spritely streak that I am glad to have experienced.

@cigitalgem I'm still having trouble processing that he's gone.

Ross had some heart problems, likely exacerbated by several Covid infections.

I am weary of so much loss in recent years. Please take care of yourselves, friends.
