UK Wants To Update Cybercrime Laws







UK Wants To Update Cybercrime Laws

UK Wants To Update Cybercrime Laws 06/30/2004 01:07 PM

Over in the UK, they've realized that it's about time they updated some of their cybercrime laws. This makes sense, since most computer crime laws are pretty much out of date, but since so few politicians seem to really understand technology, the fear is that any update may make things worse. Already, the report mentioned in the article recommends increasing jail time for "hackers." That may be good or it may not be, but just using the generic term "hackers" is a bad sign. The problem isn't with hackers, but it should be focused on what crime (if any) they've really committed. The report does note that the police do need to be better trained in how to deal with computer crimes, and that certainly makes sense. Still, politicians and computer crime laws seem to have a very bad history together, and it's unlikely this time will be any different. The problem is usually that the politicians don't understand cybercrime, and thus, they over-react to it. Until a new generation of tech savvy individuals gets elected to office, this is going to be an ongoing problem.

Cybercrime Mobs Revealed 03/17/2005 03:07 AM

Baseline has a great series of articles on the different cybercrimes and how they operate. They talk about who are these cyber criminals and what the law enforcement agencies are doing to stop them. The articles are well written and I am certain you will learn something from reading them.

Crime is now organized on the Internet. Operating in the anonymity of cyberspace, Web mobs with names like Shadowcrew and stealthdivision are building networks that help crackers and phishers, money launderers and fences skim off some of the billions that travel through the Web every day. 

 The players and their games change so quickly it's hard to piece together who they are and how they work together. But that picture's becoming more clear, as the U.S. Secret Service, the FBI and other law-enforcement agencies crack open the networks and prosecute those that run them.
