I am very interested that there seems to be an expectation that terrorism/crime be met at a "national" level first, and then co-ordinated into an international effort.
It is generally accepted that cyber-anything has little regard for nationality. History has also shown that criminal/terrorist activity will always migrate to where there is less "heat", regardless of the nationality. This is where I sympathise with the earlier post from Macedonia. The wealthy countries/nationalities have the resources to make life very "hot" for the criminal/terrorist. The criminal/terrorist "moves" to the poorest country/nationality as it does not have the resources to deal with the criminal/terrorist. The wealthy countries, who control the international organisations like the UN/IMF/etc then blacklist the poor country for harbouring the criminal/terrorist. This is further interesting when the root causes of the criminal/terrorist activity are "situated" in the wealthy countries. The net effect is that they can then blame the poor countries for their inappropriate actions. This all leads me to feel that tackling this issue on a national basis just furthers the aims of wealthy countries. This issue is international. A credible organisation must be found that can deal with it. Until then, I predict a very dim future for the already 'dim' poor countries.
