Tackling cybercrime

Thursday, March 6 2008

Davis David Conference 2006

David Davis has launched a report that looks at the threats posed by cybercrime and proposes measures to tackle this growing problem

Speaking at the 2008 e-crime Congress, David described cybercrime as a “serious threat to individuals, business and government” and accused Labour of having ignored the issue.

The report outlines a number of proposals to tackle cybercrime, including:

- Creating a new Police National Cybercrime Unit

- Establishing a cybercrime team within the Crow Prosecution Service

- Appointing a single minister responsible for cybercrime

David, The Shadow Home Secretary, promised a Conservative Government would take the necessary action to protect “the future security, economic and personal interests of this country”.

And he stressed, “The time to act is now."
