Cybercrime Fighters Need Geeks With Badges=20=20

PARIS, FRANCE,

16 May 2000, 7:48 AM CST

Government and business leaders from the G8 nations meeting in Paris to
discuss ways to confront cybercrime, said governments and police forces
are thinking traditionally when it comes to fighting hackers and that
the world needs a new version of Interpol - a specialized group of geeks
with badges. 

A report in the Toronto Globe & Mail newspaper today said the proposed
specialized unit, dubbed Cyberpol by Gaylen Duncan, president of the
Information Technology Association of Canada, would be composed of "an
international network of cyber geeks who happen to have powers to
investigate and arrest, not police who took some computer training."

The newspaper said Duncan complained that the meeting was being run by
bureaucrats and politicians who may take years to reach a decision. 
"This is the international, bureaucratic (approach of) where are we
going to be two years from now.  I'm looking for a solution, like
tonight," Duncan reportedly said.

Leaders of the G8, which include Canada, the US, Japan, Germany, France,
Britain, Italy and Russia, decided in 1997 to study the issues of
computer crime but the meeting underway this week is the first to which
private enterprise has been invited.  The group has increased its
priority on cybercrime following the Melissa, Chernobyl and Love Bug
virus infestations, the report said.

Along with the topical subject of viruses, issues such as telephone and
credit card fraud are also up for discussion at the conference.  The
meeting comes as the Council of Europe, an alliance of 41 countries, has
been working with the US, Canada, Japan and South Africa, on a new
global set of standard laws relating to cybercrime, specifically
legislation that protects against child pornography on the Web, as well
as hacking problems. 

Published reports indicate that the conference has been largely closed
to press, however, and some participants in the conference reported
being less than satisfied with the group's slow-as-molasses pace in
dealing with lightning-quick cybercrime.
