Helping kids avoid a life of cybercrime
Police in the UK are engaging in a campaign to disuade young people to engaging in cybercriminal behavior. The police claim that they have seen “children as young as nine” that have launched DDoS attacks. The National Crime Agency (NCA) has developed a program called Cyber Choices: Helping you choose the right and legal path to help young people make “informed choices and use their cyber skills in a legal way.” There are resources for parents, guardians, carers and teachers, as well as for young people. The NCA has also partnered with an Internet Service Provider (ISP) to show a warning message when students try to visit a
site that can lead to cybercrime. The message suggests a “redirection” to the Cyber Choices website where students can learn about “the Computer Misuse Act and the consequences of cybercrime.” The deputy director of NCA’s National Cyber Crime Unit (NCCU) John Denley believes that “Education is a key pillar in preventing [cyber] crime” and that “this initiative will continue to help divert young people away from [cyber] criminality.” Read more about this cyber education initiative: infosecurity- NCA: Kids as Young as Nine Have Launched DDoS Attacks
