"Pirates of the ISPs: Tactics for Turning Online Crooks Into International Pariahs" http://j.mp/nbpBN5 (This message on Google+) - - - http://j.mp/ocMMZG (Brookings Institution - Executive Summary) http://j.mp/psrRTa (Brookings Institution - Full Paper PDF) "That is where government could help.

It could encourage and regulate ISPs to share more information on the threats they find ... Dialogues to bring the Chinese closer into the fold will not only make it easier to marginalize cybercriminals; it will build momentum for broader negotiations on all sorts of Internet security issues." - - - I am not going to substantively comment on this paper yet, except to note that its perhaps somewhat unusual focus on cooperation with China in this sphere may be at least partially explained by the fact that the report appears to be associated with Brookings' John L. Thornton China Center. --Lauren-- Lauren Weinstein (lauren@vortex.com): http://www.vortex.com/lauren Co-Founder: People For Internet Responsibility: http://www.pfir.org Founder: - Network Neutrality Squad: http://www.nnsquad.org - Global Coalition for Transparent Internet Performance: http://www.gctip.org - PRIVACY Forum: http://www.vortex.com Member: ACM Committee on Computers and Public Policy Blog: http://lauren.vortex.com Google+: http://vortex.com/g+lauren Twitter: https://twitter.com/laurenweinstein Tel: +1 (818) 225-2800 / Skype: vortex.com
