"Cyber Scam Detective Show" Russians behind cyber crime, says Australian Federal Police A.F.P

The Australian Federal Police (AFP) says the majority of cyber crime committed in Australia is driven by organised crime gangs in Russia.

AFP Commander Neil Gaughan has told a parliamentary inquiry it is hard to estimate the extent of cyber crime in Australia and difficult to track down the perpetrators.

"We are working very closely with the FBI particularly and the US Secret Service, and we have good relations over there to try and mitigate some of that threat," he said.

"I must say that over the last couple of months, somewhat surprisingly I suppose, there has been a renewed effort on behalf of the Russian authorities to actually assist us with these matters."

Commander Gaughan says many Australians are neglecting to change security passwords or update the anti-virus software that protects their computers from hackers.

He says people who are not vigilant can be preyed upon by hackers looking to steal bank details and personal information.

He says there is a need for a national advertising campaign similar to graphic road safety and health campaigns used in recent years.

"Even the AIDS campaigns that were run many years ago ... changed culture; what we need to do with the internet environment is to change culture," he said.

"We need people to become aware that they are at risk and we need them to change their behaviour."
