According to a new report, Britain is losing the battle against cybercrime and needs a new crack crime unit to fight the growing problem in cooperation with its global partners, particularly the European Union.

The Home Affairs Committee Report on e-crime (Fifth Report, Session 2013-14, HC 70), published on 30 July 2013, said the 'state-of-the-art espionage response team' would encourage companies, banks and institutions to report hacking attempts to uncover the full extent of online crime and halt its rise.
