New cybercrime laws to land today
Federal Attorney-General Robert McLelland this morning revealed the Gillard Government would today introduce tougher laws tackling cybercrime, unifying Australia’s approach with international legisation in the process.
The Cybercrime Legislation Amendment Bill (2011) will, according to a statement issued by McLelland this morning, enable Australia to accede to the Council of Europe Convention on Cybercrime. The Government has been working towards this objective for some time, seeing the convention as the only binding international treat on cybercrime.
McLelland said over 40 nations had either signed or become a party to the convention, while 100 were also using the convention as the basis to strengthen their own legislation to combat cybercrime.
“As we exchange more information online, cybercrime is becoming a growing threat to individuals, businesses and governments,” McClelland said. “In the last six months alone, Australia’s Computer Emergency Response Team has alerted Australian business to more than a quarter of a million pieces of stolen information such as passwords and account details, allowing them to rectify and protect against potential attacks.”
