RE: Interpol Wants Cyber Crime Combat Centers

I've been advocating this for some time now. We have needed Interpol
cooperation or some other multi-national force that will combat Cyber Crime.
And I do think the term combat should have been used differently.

What is a combat center?  Is my laptop a combat center?

So "combat" still equals forensics to these people?

Sigh.

Interpol proposed on Wednesday the creation of global and regional
anti-crime centres to fight criminal activity online and respond quickly
to
emergency cybercrime alerts.

The Internet should not be allowed to become a place where criminals have
the upper hand and can escape punishment, Interpol Secretary-General
Ronald
K. Noble told an international cybercrimes conference in New Delhi.

Officials from 37 countries discussed identity theft, online bank fraud,
Internet gaming and the risks of online terrorist activity during a
two-day
conference in the Indian capital. It was organized by France-based
Interpol, the world's largest international police organization, with 186
member countries.

Creating global and regional anti-crime centres "is an ambitious idea, but
we are determined to turn (it) into a reality because this problem is too
big for even the G-8 and Council of Europe," Noble said. "It requires a
truly global response."

The centres would help law enforcement around the world with
investigations, training and accessing resources from a combined team of
police officers and computer experts, he said.
