e-Crime gets politicial

At the recent e-Crime Congress the Shadow Home Secretary discussed the new Green Paper calling for action and powerful change in relation to e-crime. Over 500 top law enforcement officials from around the world plus the Heads of Security for much of the City of London and the remaining UK-based-multi-nationals were in attendance.

Presently the state spends only £3.5 million on the 58 staff of SOCA E-Crime directorate (non-classified answer to a direct question from the Home Affairs Select Committee). Compare this to the £4.5 billion cost of the national ID card scheme...

Quoting another well known political party - "things can only get better!"
