Committee chair Belinda Neal said in her introduction to the 262-page 
report titled "Hackers, Fraudsters and Botnets: Tackling the Problem of 
Cyber Crime" that due to the exponential growth of malware and other 
forms of cybercrime in recent years, "the expectation that end users 
should or can bear the sole responsibility for their own personal online 
security is no longer a tenable proposition".

security and the protection of critical infrastructure to the cybercrime 
threats that impact on society more generally," she said."
