Even though interest and awareness of the cyber crime phenomenon has grown in recent years, many Information Technology (IT) professionals and law enforcement officers have lacked the tools and expertise needed to tackle the problem. To make matters worse, old laws did not fit the crimes being committed, new laws haven't quite caught up to the reality of what is really happening, and there are few court precedents to look for guidance. In addition, debates over privacy issues are hampering the ability for law enforcement agents to gather the necessary evidence to prosecute these new cases. Finally, there is a certain amount of antipathy-or at least, distrust-between the two most important players in any effective fight against cyber crime: law enforcement agents and computer professionals. Yet, close cooperation between the two is crucial if we are to control the cyber crime problem and make the Internet a safe "place" for all users.
