Security

The e-crime crusade may be paying off, according to a survey of security executives and law enforcement personnel. About 13% of respondents -- more than double the number reported in 2004 -- said the tally of network, system and data intrusions fell from the previous year. About 35% reported increased e-crime and 30% report no change, officials said. The study -- by CSO magazine, the U.S. Secret Service and Carnegie Mellon U. Software Engineering Institute -- said 32% of respondents experienced fewer than 10 e-crimes, compared with 25% in 2004, while the average number of e-crimes per respondent decreased to 86, markedly below the 136 average in the 2004 report.
