Legislation introduced May 14 by a bipartisan group of lawmakers would pump $10 million a year into federal law enforcement efforts to crack down on cybercrime.

The spending surge, which would last until 2011, would help give the U.S. Secret Service, the FBI and the attorney general's staff the training and computer forensics tools they need to investigate online scams, identity theft and other cybercrimes.

The Cyber-Security Enhancement Act of 2007 also would expand sentencing guidelines for cybercrime as a means to create, in the words of the bill, “an effective deterrent to computer crime and the theft or misuse of personally identifiable information."
