Australia: Cyber Crime Will Spread
Jordan Baker writes on The Sydney Morning Herald:
Cyber criminals will try to exploit the Federal Government's proposed health and welfare access card, interfere with e-passports and engage in "industrial espionage", a federal study predicts.
The criminals will move away from a scatter-gun approach and start targeting specific companies and people, the Australian Institute of Criminology report on directions in technology crime warns. It says the access card planned by the Federal Government will be a "likely target".
"Areas of risk will relate to dishonest initial enrolment of users as well as data insecurity, both with respect to the card's computer chip as well as supporting databases," it said.
Criminals might also try to compromise the quality of data protection for e-passports.
