Technical & Procedural Measures
Cyber criminals are an ever present menace in every country connected to the Internet. Organized crime has been on the rise because the Internet has proved a low risk, lucrative business. This is due to the fact that loopholes in national and regional legislation still remain, making it difficult to effectively track down criminals. The main problem is the lack of international harmonization regarding cybercrime legislation. Investigation and prosecution are difficult if the categorization of crimes differs from country to country. Some efforts to address this challenge have been undertaken, and although very valuable, they are still insufficient. The Internet is an international communication tool and consequently, any solution to secure it must be sought at the global level.
