Fighting cybercrime in the UK: Government's policy questioned

It's the turn of the Tories to question Government's policy in fighting cybercrime. Nothing new, but it is striking that the article stresses how cybercrime is a profitable business and not simply a gimmick used by hackers for fun purposes. Although one could argue it's quite fun to earn millions of pounds! (7 March 2008) http://news.zdnet.co.uk/security/0,1000000189,39363895,00.htm

Government's earlier move seems at odd with the international approach of Nato... although Nato is probably more concerned with cyberterrorism than with fraud (6 March 2008) "Nato bolsters cyber defences" http://news.zdnet.co.uk/security/0,1000000189,39363084,00.htm
