Utah Hooks into FBI Cybercrime Data
November 01, 2013 posted by Steve Brownstein
Utah is the first state to participate in an FBI pilot program to allow law enforcement agencies to search its central Internet-crime database.
The program’s aim is to enhance the fight against Internet-based crime.
The FBI is tailoring investigative lead information from its Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) for state and local law enforcement users under the pilot program with the Utah Department of Public Safety Bureau of Investigation.
IC3 personnel can create actionable intelligence packages connected to specific geographic regions.
The data can highlight trends, identify individuals and criminal enterprises based on commonalities of complaints, link various criminal organizations' different attack methods, and detect multiple layers of criminal activity.
