Sending alerts on breaches of Internet security will be explored as part of wider steps to combat hackers and cybercrime, the European Commission said on Wednesday.
The EU executive is worried that users of the Internet and other electronic communications spend too little money on making systems resistant to identity theft, virus attacks, spam email and other malicious actions. Only 5 to 13 percent of spending on information technology is on protecting networks and information, a level that is "alarmingly low", the Commission said.
