FYI, without any political endorsement or disdorsement (what is the word for the oppositive of "endorsement")?

The United States Department of Justice (DOJ) has been concerned about so- called "cybercrime" for more than a decade, so it makes sense that the agency would have a useful site dedicated to providing the concerned public with information about its efforts to combat such crimes. Provided by the Computer Crime and Intellectual Property Section (CCIPS) of the DOJ, this site offers information about the recent activities of the CCIPS, along with various documents, such as the current manual that lists guidelines for electronic search and seizure investigations. First-time visitors may want to start at the top of the homepage, as they can go ahead and search the entire site by keyword, or look through a few thematic areas, such as those dedicated to hacking, intellectual property crime, and information about cyberethics. Finally, the "General Information" area of the site provides details on how to report Internet-related crime and employment opportunities with the CCIPS.
