The UK's
Serious
Organised Crime Agency (Soca) is expected to lose around 400 staff when the
Home Office announces its policing budget later this week.
Many of job losses are likely to be in IT research, according to press
reports.
Ian Brown, a cyber-espionage expert at the
University
of Oxford, told
The
Times that UK businesses are "more vulnerable than they need to be"
following the merger of Soca with the National High Tech Crime Unit last year.
"It is apparent now to many people that the merger was a mistake," he said.
Soca now has overall responsibility for online criminal investigations in the
UK. While it has had some success, there are increasing concerns that it has
taken on too much responsibility.
An
online
petition on the 10 Downing Street website has called for the setting up of a
single police unit to deal with online crime. It has already been signed by over
100 leaders in the IT field.
