Britain’s cybercrime tsar is to ask the government for a programme based on its controversial counter-radicalisation strategy to stop children as young as 12 becoming involved in sophisticated computer crimes. Jamie Saunders said training was needed to help spot at-risk teenagers, as many young Internet users experiment with computer hacking or other cyber offences without realising that what they are doing is a crime. Saunders, Director of the National Cyber Crime Unit at the National Crime Agency, explained that he is proposing a scheme to ministers modelled in part on the official counter-radicalisation programme "Prevent", which has been dogged by controversy.
But instead of trying to divert aspirant jihadists from terrorism, "cyber Prevent" would aim to divert computer-literate youngsters from carrying out Distributed Denial of Service attacks (DDoS) and other cybercrimes, such as hacking private Internet users’ details. The "Cyber Prevent" programme might also be used to recruit tech-savvy young adults. Saunders said: "We need education for schools on the Computer Misuse Act, on what it is and isn’t. A lot of kids don’t realise they are committing a crime. We don’t want them to go to prison, we want them to come and work for us."
Demand for computer skills is forecast to grow in the coming years. One core message at the heart of the new strategy is that young adults with computer skills can earn well and legitimately, as opposed to perpetrating cybercrimes and facing punishment. "A lot of kids are stumbling into this crime. This activity has consequences for them and others. There are legitimate opportunities for their skills," Saunders said. The target group would be 12 to 25 years old. Analysis of investigations carried out by the NCCU in 2015 found the average age of suspects to be 17. The previous year the average was 24. Saunders said some cyber-attacks have been carried out by children who did not realise the harm they could do, adding: "We are not dealing with serious criminals. Some are sucked in and damage their careers and do a lot of harm."
Research shows that some who end up committing cybercrime start by learning how to outwit games programmers. "One of the entry points is cheating on online gaming, and you have to be quite clever to do that," he said. He said Cyber Prevent would be relatively low cost, especially compared with the harm it is trying to thwart. It would hire a network of regional specialists and industry might contribute to the cost.
Cyber Prevent would also target parents, so they had a better chance of knowing what their children might be up to. The sheer volume of online offending means that only a fraction of offenders are likely to be caught. Compared with other major crime types, intelligence about cybercrime offenders is at a relatively early stage. "We keep finding clean skins, people we did not know about," Saunders said.
The NCA says that also popular among teenage computer users is a malicious software called Remote Access Trojans (RATs). They allow people to remotely take full control of another computer, turning on webcams, stealing passwords and personal information, and launching further attacks on other computers. An NCA-led operation, targeting users of the Blackshades RAT, found that the average age of the 22 people who where arrested was 18, with the youngest person being just 12 years old. In 2014 the NCA coordinated the first UK-wide cybercrime operation to target users of the Blackshades RAT. More than 100 people were arrested worldwide, following an FBI-led crackdown. Saunders was previously director of international cyber policy at the Foreign Office. Prior to that he had worked at the UK Government Communications Headquarters.

A、To track down the serious cyber-criminals.
B、To recruit tech-savvy youngsters to work for the programme.
