Countries are already working together to fight cybercrime. In example of the US and India, "A Memorandum of Understanding signed by Deputy Secretary for the US Department of Homeland Security, Jane Holl Lute and R Chandrashekhar, secretary for India’s Department of Information Technology will put in place best practices for the government agencies to exchange critical information and expertise regarding cyber-crime. " (zdnet.com)
This includes collaboration of the following agencies:
•Indian Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT-In)
•Department of Information Technology
•Ministry of Communication and Information Technology
•Computer Emergency Readiness Team (US-CERT)
Additionally, the US and China (Can you believe it!?!) are working together to fight Spam. Due to the distrust between the two countries, the first step will be collaborative discussion - to be later transformed into the "Fight Spam to Build Trust'' report. (Higgins 2011)
