Transforming Government since 2001
Banks have announced a partnership with the Scottish Financial Crime Group to launch e-Crime Scotland, an initiative that is hoped to hit data loss incidents hard and tackle bigger threats of online fraud.

The Scotsman revealed that the web-based organisation is based on e-Crime Wales, which was pioneered in 2007. Sarah Dougan, the managing director of Glasgow's e-Security Exchange, described the move as "long overdue" to the newspaper.

It was underlined in a recent study by the Forum of Private Business that around half of small and medium-sized businesses are worried about increasing their business online, notably with social networking. Around one half of respondent questioned whether websites such as Facebook and LinkedIn were safe.

Furthermore, organisations are worried about data loss as a result of illegal activity, including website fraud and hackers stealing confidential data, which the Sctosman claimed was costing an affected blue chip company as much as £1 million a day in lost business.

This week, Garlik revealed that men are 60 per cent more likely to have their personal information stolen than women.
