He built an electronic crime notice website

The British Parliament's Science and Technology Committee said the government was considering building a website that would allow people to report electronic crime cases.

Electronic crime notice

Speaking to delegates attending the InfoSecurity 2007 Conference, British Senate Lord Broers said the website is expected to function similarly to the US Internet Crime Notification Center.

Besides the goal of collecting highly reliable data on the popularity of electronic crime, the website is also the best way to convince people who have been victims of online fraud. give information to the police.

" There is a problem that people who have been victims of online fraud often mean they are too stupid to dare to provide information to the police. It is different from the case of people being robbed. If they are They will immediately report to the police , "said Broers chairman.

" But the British people are often advised that when they become victims of online fraud, the first place they need to be is a bank, not a police station. But people need to know it is a crime. and police need to be better equipped to face them. Information is a necessity . "

David Emm, a senior technology consultant from Kaspersky, agrees with the notion that online scam victims should inform the police directly rather than to the bank. " If people report, the police will not need much time to find evidence ."

The first phase of the Senate committee will study how to combat electronic crime in the US and learn lessons learned. Previously, he did not have a specialized agency on electronic crime.

Protect young people
