Freedom of the press and privacy rights are hampering investigations into cyber crimes, says a White House committee report released yesterday that recommends such laws be re-evaluated in order to better protect citizens.
"The Internet has provided our world with unparalleled opportunities," said Attorney General Janet Reno. "At the same time, the Internet is providing criminals a vast, inexpensive and potentially anonymous way to commit crime."

Reno told a news conference the Internet poses law enforcement problems like "the inability to trace criminals who hide their identities online, difficulty in finding criminals ... in other jurisdictions," and a need for more trained personnel. "The working group identified several areas where legal authorities and tools needed to combat cyber crime are insufficient."

The report said some private Internet companies keep insufficient records to trace criminal activity. Commerce Secretary William M. Daley, appearing with Reno, said businesses must step up their efforts to make the Internet secure and cooperate more with law enforcement. (cont)
