[snip] Interpol has called on politicians to help law enforcement officers bring cybercriminals to justice by making it easier for evidence to be transferred between countries. -------------------------------------- Hmm I think the law enforcement hasn't had a problem with this for a couple of years now: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2004/11/11/gov_indymedia_response/, at least not my countries law enforcement. What would be nice is if the various agencies could use the info sent to them from Shadowserver and their ilk to bring down the botherders and actually put them in jail. It seems the only people who get arrested are noisy-worm writers, a handful of media-friendly-take-downs of 419'ers, and political dissidents. I would like it if we were reassured that these new powers would be used to take down threats to the net, and not just threats to some government's agendas or used to assuage consumer fears with a few high profile take-downs. They should absolutely not be given these new powers if they are going to help enforce DMCA :-) -JP _______________________________________________ Fun and Misc security discussion for OT posts. https://linuxbox.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/funsec Note: funsec is a public and open mailing list.
