Cyber Crime Fighters
A conference in Kuala Lumpur next week is gathering together cyber crime fighters from around the world and from diverse backgrounds in business, technology, law enforcement, communications and research. They are meeting to plan the next stages in the critical war on cyber crime. The conference, called CeCOS V, is organized by the Anti-Phishing Working Group and major tech sponsors like Google, Microsoft, McAfee and others.
It will provide a unique forum for uniting leading analysts, technologists, and law enforcement around the critical questions of how the world can respond to the growing cyber crime threat. The cost of cyber crime worldwide, which includes electronic bank fraud, identity theft, phishing scams, botnets and other schemes is estimated to be north of $1 trillion worldwide. Participants in the conference will share and discuss recent findings, case studies, and breakthroughs that can aid in response and mitigation efforts.
