The Technological Investigation Brigade (BIT) is a unit of the Cuerpo Nacional de Policía, the national civilian police force of Spain.
The group eventually split into separate sections of expertise that resemble its current organization.
In 2002, the group gained its current name of the Technological Investigation Brigade (BIT).
One of these groups investigates internet offenses such as fraudulent credit cards usage, and more complex techniques such as phishing and network attacks.
The second group in the internet security section focuses exclusively on crimes involving industrial espionage and intellectual property.
