The Federal Government has broadly accepted all 34 recommendations of the House of Representatives Standing Committee on Communications’ report on Cybercrime.
In its response [PDF] to recommendations tabled in June, the Government stressed a broad and flexible approach to managing the growing menace posed by internationally-driven botnets.
It agreed on the need for more public education and awareness raising of the threats along with better partnering with industry such as the forthcoming ISP Code (known as the icode) to promote monitoring of malicious botnet activity and notifying account holders with compromised systems.
