Sugu's Comment - As internet has been widespread all over the world, there have been many advantages to almost all sectors including private, corporate, and government. However, we have experienced many disadvantages such as "Cybercrime." This is the new form of the crime that arised with the introduction of internet. What we have mostly faced are virus attack, abusement of posonnel information, and insultings with the condition of anonymity. Other new forms of crimes are generated consistently. Also, thanks to the help of internet, these kinds of crimes cross the geographic boundaries. I know that Korean government operates "Cyber Police" to cope with the crimes. However, the problem is that it is usual for the technologies for crimes advance faster than that of protection. Also, the protection has been limited in the geographic boundary. As per the article, cybercrime is not the problem within a country. It is time to enforce global cooperative system to protect these kinds of crimes.
