Threat Of Cybercrime Rising

Threat Of Cybercrime Rising

It was a dream team, a panel of real experts discussing the rapidly escalating threat of cybercrime. Imagine Microsoft’s chief research officer, Craig Mundie, along with Mozilla chairwoman Mitchell Baker, McAfee chief executive Dave Dewalt, Harvard law professor and Internet expert Jonathan Zittrain, as well Andre Kudelski of the digital security Kudelski group, and Tom Ilube, head of web protection company Garlik. These are people who know their business.

Davos rules prohibit attribution of comments, but according to the BBC, they discussed cybercrime, the system, cyber warfare, and possible solutions.

UK Cybercrime Up 9 Pct. In 2007

UK Cybercrime Up 9 Pct. In 2007

Online identity firm Garlik has released a report showing a total of 3.5 million cybercrimes in all forms were committed in the UK during 2007, a rise of 9%.

However, identity theft fell by 8%, and sexual offences dropped 2%. Most of the crimes related to fraud, along with abusive or threatening e-mails, the BBC reports. There was an increase in harassment, with over two million people the victims of abusive emails, false accusations or blackmail attempts.

The 250,000 incidents of financial fraud reported during the year meant a 20% increase over 2006, and that the crime had become more professional, with more than 19,000 illicit traders on the information black market identified.
