Cybercrime@Octopus: News
One of the most tangible achievements of the Budapest Convention on Cybercrime is the Network of the 24/7 points of contact established under Article 35 of the treaty. Cross-border investigations on cybercrime and electronic evidence require timely and efficient international action between law enforcement units; it is thus essential that the network of contact points functions in an efficient and expeditious manner.
These and other issues, relevant to the functioning of the network - such as current status of development, tools used for cooperation, best practices and cases, cooperation with service providers - were discussed by some 60 representatives of Parties to the Budapest Convention, international organisations and industry during the Third Annual Meeting of the 24/7 Network of Contact Points of the Budapest Convention on Cybercrime.
The meeting was a follow-up to similar annual meetings held in 2017 and 2018. A recurring topic throughout discussions was building trust – between the members of the network, with other requesting states, and with local and global service provider companies in terms of access to data.
