Wales has taken the UK lead in fighting back against e-criminals who are already inflicting major damage on businesses and the community.

A multi-agency e-Crime Wales unit was set-up four years ago, with members from the Welsh Assembly Government, the four Welsh Police forces, Morgan Cole solicitors, KPMG, HSBC, FSB, Get safe online, Message Labs, Sequence and Eclipse Creative to help Welsh businesses to tackle this threat.

The fourth annual e-Crime Wales Summit, part of the e-Crime Wales programme, returns to the Celtic Manor resort on the 11^th June 2008.  After the success of the 2007 event, it promises to deliver a more exciting programme of informative and insightful keynote speakers, exhibition and workshops.
