Cybercrime and effects on economy

A Purdue University expert on computer security says that as cybercrime takes on a more global nature, it's more important than ever that governments around the world work together to combat the problem.

"We're seeing much larger scale fraud and criminal behavior that has an international aspect to it," says Eugene H. Spafford, the executive director of Purdue's CERIAS (Center for Education and Research in Information Assurance and Security). "We're also seeing a larger amount of espionage, both industrial espionage and nationally funded espionage. So, it's increasingly vital that global leaders take these threats seriously, put some resources into fighting cybercrime and cooperate with one another."

Cyber WAR requires Cyber LOVE to oppose it. We have the tool. Let me say that again to all that read this: WE HAVE THE TOOL. When 'the people of the US speak directly to the people of the world - the people and tell them we are opposed to our government, opposed to our military action, opposed to the hate and violence and ASK for thier COOPERATION to REVOLT by non violent means MAYBE there will be a response. Remember the movie Worst of ALL FEARS....it was communication that saved the day.
