#2 Cyberspace: Civil & Criminal Collaboration & Enforcement
The increased dependence on the Internet for daily activities has steered wrongdoers online to engage in their illegal conduct. Such conduct includes not only traditional illegal activities, but increasingly new forms of crime and fraud, through unsolicited e-mail, phishing, and spyware. The lack of jurisdictional boundaries and the ease in which one can conceal oneself on the Internet has created new difficulties for law enforcement in their pursuit of these wrongdoers. As a result, industry and law enforcement from throughout the world have come together to jointly combat this growing phenomena.
The purpose of this seminar is to inform the audience of the ongoing collaborative efforts, identify the specific tools and resources available to law enforcement, and suggest how law enforcement can best use those resources. Representatives from eBay and AOL will share their available assistance in forensic investigations in both civil and criminal enforcement, and law enforcement official will provide details of success and pitfalls in enforcement efforts.
