Though Europol does not officially investigate cybercrimes, Felix is the crime fighting agencys resident expert. The cybercriminals he pursues are hardly blue-haired, teen-aged hackers or Web pranksters. Felix puts it this way: Along with their computers, they also have guns. A MEMBER the Intelligence Analysis Department at Europol Felix says he almost failed out of law school 10 years ago because he was so busy teaching himself how to program. He now gives seminars on cybercrime for companies and government agencies all over the world; on Thursday, his Europol ID dangled from his neck, attached to an FBI Academy badge necklace. Europol's headquarters in The Hague, now the center of cybercrime investigation across the Continent, served as headquarters for the Gestapo during World War II. .. More and more frequently, when local police raid a location where hackers are suspected of operating, weapons are found near their computers, Felix said. And were not talking about 9 milimeter pistols. Were talking about automatic weapons. ... Take a drug dealer. He is looking for ways to expand his market, improve his distribution. He can use the Internet for that, Felix said. And criminals are increasingly recruiting young computer hackers. Say you want to create a secure, private network to talk about drug deals. And you dont know how to do that. So what do you do? he said. Felix said many hackers have been approached by seemingly legitimate businessmen with requests to build private networks that offer secure, encrypted communication. Sometimes they are paid with computer equipment; sometimes they dont even have to be paid. They tell them, You know, the government is all over everything, its not right. Help us keep the government away. And the hacker thinks, This is an interesting problem, and starts to do it, Felix said. Many never realized theyve been tricked, and are oblivious to the potential dangers. ... Cybercrime is a thorny topic to pin down. Investigators cant talk about specific cases. Companies dont talk about it at all. That leaves the computer underground an anonymous world rife with rumors and exaggerations. Felix refused to offer details on most of his investigations, but he did relay a story about a Portugese bank which lost millions of dollars through a scheme implemented by one of its own system administrators several years ago. ...
