The International Cyber Cop Unit

Slashdot reports that a group of international cyber cops is ramping up plans to fight online crime across borders. The Strategic Alliance Cyber Crime Working Group, as the unit is known, is made up of high-level online law enforcement representatives from the United States, the United Kingdom, New Zealand, Australia, and Canada.

Once of the primary goals of the group is to fight cyber crime as a team by sharing intelligence, swapping tools and best practices, as well as strengthening and synchronizing their respective laws.

The group has much work ahead of it. As an example, according to the US-CHINA Economic and Security Review Commission report, Chinese military strategists write openly about exploiting vulnerabilities generated by U.S. dependence on advanced technologies and the extensive infrastructure used to conduct operations.
