Kaspersky says that cyber crooks are getting increasingly smart day by day. Taking into consideration the declining arrest rate of the online creeps, they seem to be getting success in outwitting law- enforcement agencies. Eugene Kaspersky boss of Kaspersky said that there had been 2.5 times more nasty codes in 2006 than in 2005, and the trend is still on and on in 2007. He says when many cases of hacking are reported to be taking place, why is there so less arresting. Cyber crooks are now embedded with new methods, like the utilization of ‘human proxies,’ individuals who get and send money gathered from cyber crime. The online creeps now instead of making too much noise, attempts to get more and more money.

He further said that there does not seem any way to keep track of the criminals, and once police track human proxies down, the active creeps splits the chain and set on to a new one. He also stated that one of the main obstacles being faced by law-enforcement agencies is that cyber crime is at the most a worldwide business, and as police in many nations have got progressed in cross-border relations, the varied levels of bureaucracy in different nations frequently holds up to track the real culprit behind web scams. He added that the victim could be in the UK, however the creator is somewhere else and you will have to get in touch with many law-enforcement agencies in many nations, and a few of them are better than others. Kaspersky also said that the far-flung East is going host the biggest threat over the next few years.
