The UK needs a reporting body to deal with e-crime occurrences, according to a group of senior IT chiefs. Companies which have fallen foul of e-crime attacks must report any incidents to the local police, who may not always understand what – for example – a DDoS or phishing attack is. David Roberts, chief executive of Tif, the Corporate IT Forum, told silicon.com there is a need for an organisation that businesses can talk to: “At the moment, there isn’t anywhere a large or small corporate can go to find somebody who can understand the [e-crime] issue and has the authority to do something about it.” Roberts said there is not even a body that can bring together organisations that are under threat or experiencing regular threats and coordinate efforts to identify and resolve e-crime incidents.
