Australia: A Harbinger of Investigative Capability
February 11, 2022
Australia is a country which has been a pioneer in some investigative methods. Another innovation has been described in “Home Affairs Says Online Account Takeover Powers Now in Use.” The write up states:
…the Australian Federal Police and Australian Criminal Intelligence Commission have access to three new warrants to tackle serious crime enabled by anonymising technology. The warrants allow the agencies to take control of a person’s online account, as well as add, copy, delete or alter material to disrupt criminal activity and collect intelligence from online networks.
Australia is a participant in the Five Eyes’ group. Others in that federation are likely to monitor how Australia’s innovation works in the real world. Worth watching.
