Synopsis: |
The incidence and cost of internet-based crime is know to be huge but there is no accurate data on its exact size. This document sets out the Government's reply to the Committee's report ("HLP 165-I, session 2006-07"; ISBN 9780104011386) on personal security risks relating to the internet, particularly given the changing perception of the 'e-criminal' from the idea of the lonely hacker to highly skilful, organised criminal groups. Issues discussed include: data collection methods and whether a new classification scheme is need to accurately record all forms of e-crime; funding research into e-crime; distributed responsibility for personal internet security; the regulatory framework for web security standards; software and vendor liability; and, policing the internet. |
