Fight against cyber crime: cyber patrols and Internet investigation
teams to reinforce the EU strategy.
The Council of ministers of the European Union adopted today the
Council's strategy to reinforce the fight against cyber crime. The
strategy proposes a series of operational measures, such as cyber
patrols, joint investigation teams and remote searches to become part
of the fight against cybercrime in the next five years. The strategy
also introduces concrete steps for closer cooperation and information
exchange between law enforcement authorities and the private sector.

Cyber crime is a growing threat to our societies today. EU member
states suffer daily thousands of attacks against their information
systems. Viruses facilitating stealing information from personal
computers, spam, identity theft, and child pornography are
increasingly widespread. According to recent reports, images of
sexually abused children available on-line quadrupled in the last five
years and half of all internet crime involves the production,
distribution and sale of child pornography .........
