37% rural youth sans Internet access: Study
Cybercrime is racing ahead of law enforcers’ ability to control it as the “dark web”, or “deep” internet, expands, a former senior civil servant warned.
But Sir David Omand, a former director of eavesdropping centre GCHQ and former UK security and intelligence co-ordinator, dismissed suggestions that attempts to curb internet crime were leading to “mass surveillance”.
He told Parliament’s Intelligence and Security Committee that there was “a quite unnecessary moral panic” over privacy, arising from publicity surrounding the material that former US intelligence operative Edward Snowden “stole from GCHQ”.
