Cyber crimes can cost the worlds economy almost $400 billion a year. Recently CNN published
an article on their website about this malicious and growing crime. They caught up with Ed
Lowery who work for the Secret Service this is what he had to say. Criminals are becoming
increasingly sophisticated. What we've seen develop over the last 10 to 15 years has been cartel
behavior from individuals who ... have developed a very, very intricate criminal conspiracy or
criminal consortium to commit crimes against assets of the United States, ex-filtrate data and
then monetize that data around the world. CNN also says most hackers are motivated by money
and political issues. However when it is an overseas issue in Russia or China for example
countries sometimes seem less likely to help. But one group in Europe is leading the fit to stop
cyber crimes. Europol is based in the Netherlands, opened a cyber crime center back in January
2013. They intend to be the spearhead in Europe for stopping such crimes and tend to create
tools and techniques to help its allies. One important point is, there needs to be the same laws
and every part of the world for cyber crimes, because someone can break the law in one country
but in another its legal and that individual my not be held accountable. Also noted there arent
enough police with the skills to asses these crimes or track them for that matter. Ed lowery also
quotes at the end of this article as saying, You need a very highly skilled cadre, you still need to
be able to develop evidence that will stand up in a court of law," says Lowery. "We have to be
sure that the individual that we are going to charge with that crime is absolutely the individual
that committed the crime. To do that takes a lot of old-school detective work."

Comparing the web searched article to database article

The web article I first summarized was much easier and faster to find then the database search.
The web article popped up right away at the top of the search page. The database article however
took some time to find one related to the first article I searched. I had to click in and out of
articles because they werent related to what I previously summarized. The web article was up to
date just a few days old October 30, 2014. The database searched article was old as were most of
the ones that came up the one I choose was the most recent August 2010. The first article had
much more authority then the data based. The data based lacked many facts and not enough
information to support.
