UK Police Lose National High-Tech Crime Unit Domain

Apparently the UK’s National High-Tech Crime Unit (NHTCU) was merged into the Serious Organised Crime Unit (SOCA) a few years ago. It now appears that they forgot to renew their domain name and its now in the hands of someone else. PC Pro reports that in a statement, SOCA said:

“SOCA is aware that registration of the domain www.nhtcu.org has lapsed and is taking the necessary steps to remind partners and stakeholders that the NHTCU became SOCA e-crime in April 2006, and that they should confirm that web links and other references are amended accordingly.”

Oh sure – the media is going to go back through all their news articles on computer crime and amend their website links.
