[pchelpers] News: Countries move forward on cybercrime treaty

By Jeremy Kirk , IDG News Service , 03/11/2009

Countries are ratifying the only global cybercrime treaty slower than

crime. The Council of Europe (COE), an organization composed of 47
European countries, has spearheaded a drive to help countries either
create computer crime laws or bring existing ones in line with the
treaty.
