Global Cyber Crime: Weak Laws Threaten E-Commerce

Gaps in national criminal laws make successful prosecution of international cyber crimes uncertain in many countries, according to a report issued today by McConnell International, a global policy and technology management consulting firm. The report, Cyber Crime... and Punishment? Archaic Laws Threaten Global Information, finds that only nine of 52 countries analyzed have extended their criminal laws into cyberspace to cover most types of cyber crimes.

The report looked at ten different types of cyber crime in four categories: data-related crimes, including interception, modification, and theft; network-related crimes, including interference and sabotage; crimes of access, including hacking and virus distribution; and associated computer-related crimes, including aiding and abetting cyber criminals, computer fraud, and computer forgery.
