The unit, which was developed last year, has been able to conduct investigations in 23 Louisiana parishes of computer hacking and email virus cases. According to the FBI, computer crimes are on the rise, with 85 percent of U.S. companies and government agencies reporting computer breaches within the past year. Louisiana authorities noted the program was established in December with the help of a $35,000 grant from the state's Commission on Law Enforcement. The unit utilizes such tools as NeoTrace, which is able to locate the addresses of offending computers within minutes.
