>From the information I've received from people that have been involved with
NIPC, they don't seen like the best vehicle for cyber crime prevention.
Their focus is infrastructure so those outside that arena are not of
interest and they are pretty much a one way street. They take in lots of
information but put out very little. I was told by one high level
participant that NIPC wanted him to sign a strict non-disclosure agreement
that would prevent him from releasing ANY information they gave him to the
security community. He decline and left.
IMO we have some much larger issues to deal with before any reasonable
enforcement or prevention can be achieved. If the government really wants
to help, they should put money to research, development and deployment of
secure protocols and products. Our industry is immature. We don't even
have a good trace tool, never mind mitigation measures.

from the government and I'm here to help."

It's been long known that the most successful crime prevention and
investigation programs involve the community at their core. It may be
that we need to start a dialog with the cyber police to build a
strategy for incident handling. We may have to initiate this dialog.
I would not be surprised to find out the groups working on cyber crime
have little to no experience with handling community relations.
