Abstract
The increased use of personal computers and other personal devices with the ability to connect to the Internet, as well as the availability of public WiFi hotspots, enabled people to make extensive use of the offered Internet services, thus rendering them a tempting target for cyber criminals. Furthermore, cyber crime has a transnational character and can simultaneously affect individuals at different geographical locations, thus requiring international co-operation in order to be fought effectively. This paper presents the various international efforts against cyber crime that involve Greece, along with the relevant legal framework and some planned developments for the future.
