The leading industrialised nations which make up the G8 will
study the recent Love Bug virus which caused widespread disruption
to computer systems. Crimes of paedophilia and credit card fraud
will also be considered with a view to introducing new laws to
prosecute these crimes and to assist cross-border
investigations.
The Council of Europe, working in conjunction with the US and
other non-member countries, is also proposing a new treaty on
cybercrime.
