FBI Calls For Global Cooperation On Cyber Crime

FBI Calls For Global Cooperation On Cyber Crime

The FBI has called for greater international coordination in anti-hacking laws at the first International Conference on Cyber Security.
The conference was held last week at Fordham University in New York City and was co-sponsored by the FBI. It aimed to bring together commercial companies, law enforcement and private individuals with an interest in curbing online crime.



The FBI showed an example of how the team responds to attacks, in this example involving an initial intrusion into a bank in Mexico City initially routed through a computer in New York. This was however controlled from a computer in South Korea which was in turn traced to a machine in Thailand, where local police made an arrest.

Thanks to inter network cooperation the team could backtrace and make an arrest within hours, rather than the weeks and months that traditional online policing would have taken.
