The International Cyber Cop Unit

Posted by samzenpus on from the cool-job-title dept.

coondoggie writes "A group of international cyber cops is ramping up plans to fight online crime across borders. The unit, known as the Strategic Alliance Cyber Crime Working Group, met this month in London and is made up of high-level online law enforcement representatives from the U.S., Australia, Canada, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom. One of the main goals of the group is to fight cyber crime in a common way by sharing intelligence, swapping tools and best practices, and strengthening and synchronizing their respective laws."

    Strategic Alliance Cyber Crime Working Group. Sounds like a straight to DVD Jean-Claude van Damme movie.

      Strategic Alliance Cyber Crime Working Group.

      SACCWG sounds really stupid if you try to pronounce the mnemonic. How is anyone gonna remember that?

      What about "Universal Working Alliance Networking Cybercrime Knowledge", or something?

      Incidentally, I suspect at the announcement of the aforementioned committe, a counter-committee is being secretly formed as we speak:

      "Fellowship Undermining Cybercop Knowledge - You Obviously Understand"

    Could just shorten it to "sack-wag" because of all the dicks that will be present.

    "saccwg" doesn't exactly roll off the tongue.

    It does for a wookiee.

    So long as they track and kill spammers in their 20% creative time it's cool with me.

    You know, I just read that "piracy" as "privacy". Now I wonder what Freud would say about that...
