The grill: Eugene Kaspersky

18.10.2011

Sooner or later, I think we will have something like an Internet Interpol, but at the same time there is a need to have a criminal Internet legislation. They have to adapt computer laws to the same standards because in some countries, they are different. For example, in Japan, there are no criminal acts for cybercrime. I was sure that Japan had such laws but they don't.

Sooner or later this organisation will be introduced, but I don't know if it will be an independent international organisation or part of traditional Interpol or under the jurisdiction of the United Nations.

The existing Internet Interpol can't investigate international cybercrime because the Interpol is designed in a different way. It is designed to find the right [police] contacts in different countries.

With cybercrime, it is different because there are no borders and the criminals can easily immigrate from country to country when they access victims. They can use proxy servers in different countries so there must be contacts in many different countries and there has to be one organisation responsible for all investigations.
