RCMP Plans New Investigative Team As Part Of Cybercrime Strategy

The Canadian Press, 02 Dec, 2015 11:19 AM
    OTTAWA — The RCMP plans to set up a cybercrime team to investigate the most significant online threats to Canada's reputation and economy.
     
    The national police force says the Ottawa-based team will probe cyber-related criminal activity targeting the federal government, key business assets and national critical infrastructure, such as power grids.
     
    The initiative, to be fully in place by 2020, is a central feature of the RCMP's cybercrime strategy released today.
     
    The RCMP wants to address the challenge of policing digital misdeeds when perpetrators — and the evidence needed to catch them — often prove elusive.
     
    RCMP Commissioner Bob Paulson told a security conference last week that police exhibit rooms are stacked with digital devices — and the trick is finding ways to extract the valuable evidence on them.
     
    Paulson says that while the Internet is a marvellous place, it has a dark and dangerous side.
