Aggregated stories from key sites around the Web to help inform the public about consumer scams, rip-offs, misdeeds and even outright stupidity practiced by criminals
A recent talk at TED by Mikko Hyponnen summarized the situation for the Web very well, IOHO: Here's his conclusion:
"I've spent my life defending the net. And I do feel that if we don't fight online crime, we are running a risk of losing it all. We have to do this globally, and we have to do it right now.
"What we need is more global, international law enforcement work to find online criminal gangs -- these organized gangs that are making millions out of their attacks. That's much more important than running anti-viruses or running firewalls."
