(Adnkronos) - “Pirateria informatica e criminalità organizzata sono mondi sempre più sovrapponibili. Bisogna sempre considerare questa opportunità offerta dalle nuove tecnologie che potrebbero cambiare la strategia mafiosa. Siamo indietro intanto nella valutazione e nella percezione del rischio non ci possono essere santuari, non ci possono essere zone franche quindi quello che bisogna fare è creare strumenti sia normativi sia di comprensione del fenomeno. Noi non dobbiamo pensare al mondo digitale come una continuazione del territorio fisico”. Lo ha dichiarato alla Camera dei Deputati Antonio Nicaso docente alla Queen’s University Canada in occasione della presentazione del Rapporto “Cyber Organized Crime – Le mafie nel Cyberspace” organizzato dalla Fondazione Magna Grecia.

00:00Let's say that the world of computer piracy and organized crime are increasingly overlapping.
00:14They are not distant worlds, they are worlds that share strategies and interests.
00:21What instead emerges from official relations is a reality like that of cybercrime,
00:28which is often associated with attacks that can be orchestrated by hackers,
00:39which, at best, belong to countries that are financed by phishing.
00:50Instead, we must always consider this opportunity offered by new technologies,
00:57which could change the mafia strategy.
01:02We are behind in the assessment and perception of the risk.
01:07There cannot be sanctuaries, there cannot be frank areas.
01:10So what needs to be done is to try to create both normative tools,
01:17both of understanding the phenomenon and of counterintelligence,
01:23to understand the evolution of mafias and not be late,
01:28as for example we are with cryptocurrencies, which somehow escaped us.
01:36In this area, in what sociology defines as social capital,
01:41hackers, computer pirates, drug designers, and it is an evolving world,
01:50because we must not think of the digital world as a world where criminal activities are exposed,
01:57but we must imagine it as a continuation of physical territory.
