UK initiative to combat chip re-labelling

Abstract

A new UK initiative has announced its plans to combat the rapidly escalating international problem of chip theft, a problem that's leading to business questioning the credibility and authenticity of its supplies. The Joint Action Group (JAG), run by the London Metropolitan Police Service, earlier this year set up a computer crime sub-committee specifically to investigate the rapidly escalating problem of chip theft at the request of a group of multi-national companies, including IBM, Intel and BT.
