Cybercrime as destructive as credit crisis

[Juha-Matti Laurio <juha-matti.laurio () netti fi>]

"Cybercrime is likely to wreak as much havoc as the credit crisis in the coming years if international regulation is 
not improved,
some of the world's top crime experts said on Wednesday.

Damage caused by cybercrime is estimated at $100 billion annually, said Kilian Strauss, of the Organization for 
Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE).

"These criminals, they outsmart us ten, or a hundred to one," Strauss told Reuters,
adding more internet experts were needed to investigate and tackle cybercrime."
