He was addressing the conference on hi-tech crimes and protecting the interests of legal business. Hackers are very active today and Moscow web-busters are facing "groups of professional electronic bandits, and not single romantics", he said. Chepchugov said that Western special services quite often detect the crimes committed by Russian computer wizards. "R" department officers often use data provided by their foreign colleagues to catch Moscow hackers. Russian Interior Ministry has signed agreements to combat hi-tech crimes with many foreign police authorities. "It helps us to put an effective barrier to computer crimes," Chepchugov added. *==============================================================* "Communications without intelligence is noise; Intelligence without communications is irrelevant."
