New Delhi: Communications and IT Minister Kapil Sibal said some nations are found to be indulging in cybercrime, or are employing individuals who are not directly linked to them for carrying out such practices.

Speaking at a IT-ITeS body Nasscom event here, Sibal said "Now, what is happening today is that we know for a fact that nations have organised themselves to indulge in cyber crime. We know for a fact that they work sometimes through individuals far removed from them.

"We know for a fact that actually they work from spaces that may not be even cited in their own country and part of the attack may come from somewhere else..."

He, however, did not name any country or individual. The minister said that there is a need to create a global standard to fight cybercrime.

"Now, the Internet world today does not allow us to find where the attack came from and who attacked us, nor does it allow us to disclose the identity of the attackers. We need to develop global rules for that. We need a global accord for that and we then need a system of cyber justice...," he added.
