A brief overview of the organization:

‘Drs. Sukamol Srikwan and Markus Jakobsson developed SecurityCartoon.com in 2006 as an approach to improve security awareness and understanding among typical Internet users. The material is supported by their insights into computer security, deceit psychology and learning. The approach has been documented in a recent scientific journal (‘Using Cartoons to Teach Internet Security’, Cryptologia, vol. 32, no. 2, 2008) and in a book chapter (chapter 13 of Crimeware, Symantec Press, 2008).

In 2007, Srikwan and Jakobsson founded Extricatus, LLC, a Mountain View, CA company. Extricatus' charter is to improve security messaging and reduce security vulnerabilities due to social engineering and human error, two of the leading causes to security breaches. Among their clients are five Fortune-500 companies, and several European and Latin American companies concerned with the rising tides of online fraud.’

Additional Information:

‘Established in January of 1993, the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre (formerly PhoneBusters) is jointly managed by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, the Ontario Provincial Police, and the Competition Bureau of Canada.

The Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre (CAFC) is the central agency in Canada that collects information and criminal intelligence on mass marketing fraud (telemarketing), advance fee fraud letters (e.g. West African), internet fraud and identity theft complaints, that have Canadian content, from North American consumers and/or victims. The CAFC does not conduct investigations, but provides valuable assistance to law enforcement agencies all over the world.

The CAFC plays a key role in educating the public about specific fraudulent schemes and in the collection and dissemination of victim information, statistics and documentation, in order to provide investigative assistance to all law enforcement agencies. The data collected and analysed at the CAFC serves as a valuable tool in evaluating the effects of various types of fraud on the public. It also helps to prevent future similar crimes from taking place.

The CAFC also operates the SeniorBusters program, presently consisting of more than 60 volunteer senior adults who help combat mass marketing fraud practices against seniors. The SeniorBusters program offers education, counselling and referrals to senior victims of illegal mass marketing fraud and identity theft/fraud.

The Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre provides a national integrated environment that facilitates the coordination, collaboration and education of strategies and practices to disrupt and dismantle serious fraud and illegal mass marketing fraud schemes involving Canadians.’

2005:

‘To further our education effort to the general public on information security, an information security awareness promotion campaign, ‘Three Smart Tips to Clean PC’ campaign, is jointly organised by the Office of the Government Chief Information Officer (OGCIO), Hong Kong Computer Emergency Response Team Coordination Centre (HKCERT) and the Hong Kong Police Force (HKPF). In order to help the general public build up the habit of regularly cleaning up their PCs and minimise the risk of being attacked by computer virus or hackers, we have organised a ‘Hong Kong Clean PC Day’ on 25 November 2005, the public are invited to participate in this event by simply cleaning their PC with the following three smart tips: Scan with anti-virus software, Protect with personal firewall, Apply security patches regularly’

2006: ‘Three Smart Tips‘

‘Information security awareness promotion is an ongoing process. To ride on the success of the ‘Three Smart Tips to Clean PC’ Campaign which was held last November, a second tide of the promotion campaign namely ‘Hong Kong Clean PC Day 2006’ is jointly organised by the Office of the Government Chief Information Officer (OGCIO), Hong Kong Computer Emergency Response Team Coordination Centre (HKCERT) and the Hong Kong Police Force (HKPF) this November to achieve the broadest penetration of these ‘Three Smart Tips‘ and provide the public the techniques to protect their PC from cyber attack.’

2007: ‘Hong Kong Clean PC Day 2007’ for SMEs

‘As at December 2006, there were about 276,000 Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in Hong Kong. They accounted for over 98% of the total business units and provided job opportunities to over 1.19 million persons, about 50% of total employment (excluding civil service), a thriving SME sector is thus vital to the economic growth of Hong Kong.

With this in view, the Office of the Government Chief Information Officer (OGCIO) has teamed up again with the Hong Kong Police Force (HKPF) and Hong Kong Computer Emergency Response Team Coordination Centre (HKCERT) to jointly organise a promotion campaign namely ‘Hong Kong Clean PC Day 2007’. SMEs will be the main targets of our campaign this year. We hope through our publicity programmes, SMEs can understand more about how important that information security management is to their business and hence they can assimilate the knowledge to reduce the chance of being attacked.

Information security management involves a combination of prevention, detection and reaction processes. It is a cycle of iterative activities and processes that require ongoing monitoring and control. To make it easier for the public to understand the concept of information security management and take forward implementation plans, we have summarised the concepts as the following diagram and named it as ‘Information Security Management Quartet’.

2008: ‘Youth’

‘According to a survey conducted by the Census and Statistics Department in 2007, youngsters aged from 10 to 24 had the highest rate of having used Internet services. More than 98.5 percents of them were computer and/or Internet users. The youngsters are using the Internet services mainly for communication with others, searching for / downloading information online or for offline digital entertainment. Surfing the Internet and use of computer have integrated with their daily life.

Office of the Government Chief Information Officer (OGCIO), Hong Kong Police Force (HKPF) and Hong Kong Computer Emergency Response Team Coordination Centre (HKCERT) continue to co-organise the information security promotion campaign. This year, we target the ‘Youth’ as our main audience. We hope to enhance the understanding of youngsters of information security related topics and help them develop a proper attitude in using Internet so as to prevent themselves from becoming victims of cyber attacks.’

2009: ‘Security of Online Transaction’ and e-commerce

‘Technology crime is on the rising trend. According to figures of Hong Kong Police Force (HKPF), the numbers of cases have been raised for about 25% to 791 in the year 2008. The latest figure in the first quarter of 2009 has reached 240, of which over half of the victims suffered financial losses. The proliferation of technology crime cases with financial loss is probably due to the recent popularity of Internet based electronic transactions such as e-auction, e-banking and e-shopping.

While Internet provides a convenient and efficient channel to conduct business transaction and electronic payment, people are at the risk of financial loss due to some traps and vulnerabilities not present in the traditional pre-Internet era. Internet users have to take sufficient security considerations and precaution measures in order to minimise the risks against technology crime.

The Office of the Government Chief Information Officer (OGCIO), HKPF and Hong Kong Computer Emergency Response Team Coordination Centre (HKCERT) have continued to co-organise information security campaign. It aims to make citizens aware of the potential risks when conducting online transactions, and provides them with the proper precautions when using Internet services. This year, our main theme is ‘Security of Online Transaction’. We target to enhance the understanding of information security by the Internet users, and help them to prevent the financial loss as victims of cybercrime.’

Evaluation:

Additional Information:

‘Secure Japan 2009’ is the beginning of the Second National Strategy, and as the name suggests, has been modelled on the basis of successes and failures of the previous First National Strategy starting from ‘Secure Japan 2006’. The main thrust of the new policy is that accidents should be ‘assumed’, that is, breaches in security are unavoidable, and hence more emphasis should be put on response to these crises as well as on preventative measures.

Government agencies are to formulate their own systems and provide an ‘Information Security Annual Report’, including an assessment on whether the ideas they implemented were successful, to be demonstrated using ‘objective indicators such as numerical representation.’

For enterprises, the emphasis of the campaign is to promote information security governance as ‘part of corporate governance’. There is a strong emphasis on audits of information security systems, and third party assessments of them.

The campaign at individuals is targeted at all age groups, both in terms of raising awareness of problems and ‘improving media literacy’. This campaign also has a small international element, in that materials have been provided in English and published online, in the hope of making this sort of strategy known both inside and outside Japan.

Additional Information:

It is important that parents provide a supportive environment for the online explorations of their children and that they understand both positive and negative aspects of the Internet.

It is recommended that parents place computer(s) in an open area where the screen can be monitored while their children are online.

Using the Internet can be an important bonding time for families and we recommend that parents spend regular times exploring the Net with their children. This time may be for purposes of entertainment or school homework. This will help children to respect the Internet as a valuable resource for learning as well as for fun.

The ‘Teachers’ section of the website gives detailed suggestions of how to use this website to teach children about safety on the Internet. We recommend that parents read through the seven safety points with their child and help them to read through the ‘Quiz’.

The ‘Invent-a-Land’ activity is designed for printing from the computer and the picture is then completed offline. Whereas, the ‘Fun Puzzle’ is designed for use on the computer.

The ‘Safe Links’ section of the website provides a list of safe websites compiled by the team at Netguide Magazine. These websites have been recommended as safe for children to use.’

Additional Information:

‘E-government is a way of tapping unrealised potential for high quality government in New Zealand. It enables government agencies to separately and collectively lift their performance and deliver better results through using information and technology in new, more collaborative, ways.

E-government delivers better results by adapting government to the environment of the information age and the Internet. The public has invested hugely in the information, technology, and processes used by government, as well as in people and public management systems. E-government makes the best of this investment to deliver improved services to New Zealanders.

Technological change is only part of achieving this goal, and the Internet will not fully replace all other way government relates to people. Technology does not guarantee better public sector performance on its own. Success also depends on making ongoing improvements to the design, operation, and culture of the public sector, so that it can better respond to the changing demands of New Zealanders.

E-government is best understood in the context of: the Government’s broader goals to improve public management; what New Zealanders (people and business) want form e-government; public sector ethics, values and standards; and new thinking about how service delivery should be electronically enabled’.

The Privacy Right Clearinghouse’s goals are as follows:

‘1) Raise consumers’ awareness of how technology affects personal privacy

2) Empower consumers to take action to control their own personal information by providing practical tups on privacy protection

3) Respond to specific privacy – related complaints form consumers, intercede on their behalf, and, when appropriate, refer them to the proper organizations for further assistance.

4) Document the nature of consumers’ complaints and questions about privacy in reports, testimony, and speeches and make them available to policy makers, industry representatives, consumer advocates, and the media.

5) Advocate for consumers’ privacy rights in local, state and federal public policy proceedings, including legislative testimony, regulatory agency hearings, task forces, and study commissions as well as conferences and workshops.’

In an effort to achieve these goals, the Privacy Rights Clearinghouse offers a number of services to citizens throughout the nation. A hotline, which can be found on the site, is offered to people to consumers who would like to report privacy abuses or receive information on privacy protection. The site also provides clients with fact sheets on privacy issues in both English and Spanish. Additionally, the organization hosts a ‘referral service,’ which allows journalists and policy makers to network with victims of privacy abuses and are willing to talk to the media or testify in legislative and regulatory agency hearings. Lastly, the Privacy Rights Clearinghouse reaches out to the community and businesses by making presentations at conferences, employee training sessions, and civic and community group meetings.

The Fraud Section also plays a critical role in the development of Department policy. The Section implements enforcement initiatives and advises the Department leadership on such matters as legislation, crime prevention, and public education. The Section frequently coordinates interagency and multi-district investigations and international enforcement efforts. The Section assists prosecutors, regulators, law enforcement and the private sector by providing training, advice and other assistance. The Section, often in a leadership capacity, participates in numerous national, regional and international working groups. To fulfil its mission, the Fraud Section seeks to build and enhance its most valuable resources by maximizing opportunities for its dedicated professionals.
