This has been happening for a while, and yes, the LEOs have to undergoing a revolution to counterattack it.
For starters, they need to scrap crappy laws and LEOs like interpol and current cybercrime provisions and create a global framework and agency with actual teeth to operate with. And then they have to start doing stuff like disconnecting countries that are non compliant with the regime - like Nigeria, russia and china. Of course the US will totally flip out at the idea of letting anyone else arrest its citizens and nothing will happen on an ongoing basis while the impact of cybercrime and spamming grows unchecked. |
