FRAUD AND THE NET
A Deloitte & Touche report commissioned by the European Union
says that cross-border fraud involving Internet abuse, banking
and investment frauds, and smuggling is costing society
$77 billion a year. The report suggests that perhaps the
largest single threat comes from fraud through the Internet,
because encryption technology remains vulnerable to
sophisticated computer vandals.

Anyone have a pointer to the full report or a more detailed
abstract?

I'd be happy to contribute towards the cost if someone else wants to take
up a collection and buy the report. (If it goes online, as I assume it
will, is this an example of a cypherpunkish "public good?")
Or I can try to call up and get 'em to send me a copy as a journalist.
