So what did the conference actually decide?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A. Nothing formal \u2014 it was a themed deep-dive. INTERPOL, the OECD, ICANN and Russian officials spent the day working out how international cybercrime cooperation should be built.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Q. What was the most contentious topic?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A. Laws versus technology. &#39;We cannot fight cybercrime without laws&#39; clashed with Jeff Moss&#39;s technology-first, trust-no-one philosophy.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Q. Why should I care?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A. DDoS, phishing and spam exploded globally right after this period. And the security-first rhetoric aired here soon became the standard justification for internet restrictions in many countries.<\/p>\n<h2>What Is Russia IGF?
