You could call it digital vs. digital.
It's a tech trend in crime, and it is transforming everything.
The new EU Serious and Organised Crime Threat Assessment sums it up in two short paragraphs.
The bad: technology is enabling organized crime
"For almost all types of organised crime, criminals are deploying and adapting technology with ever greater skill and to ever greater effect. This is now, perhaps, the greatest challenge facing law enforcement authorities around the world, including in the EU."
The good: technology is helping fight organized crime
"Technology is a significant aid to law enforcement authorities in the fight against serious and organised crime. This includes the use of advanced digital forensics tools, the deployment of predictive policing software driven by Big Data as well as drones for the monitoring of areas and large events."
SecureWorld will continue to report on the two sides as the cat and mouse battle continues.
