The U.S. plans a diplomatic push to get more countries to join in cyber-crime investigations, Howard Schmidt, the top White House cyber-security official, said yesterday.
“I can’t think of any case involving intrusions that didn’t have an international component,” Schmidt said, referring to breaches of computer security. “In the very near future, we will be coming forth with specific efforts” that may include “tough discussions” with countries to ensure they help hunt down criminals who steal information and data using computers, he said.
