Computer Crimes: Laws Must Be Pass To Address The Increase In Computer Crimes
.... computer criminals to other criminals, ascribing
characteristics somehow different from
'normal' individuals, but that is not the case."(Sharp, 18:3) It is believed
that the computer criminal "often marches to the same drum as the potential
victim but follows and unanticipated path."(Blumenthal, 1:2) There is no actual
profile of a computer criminal because they range from young teens to elders,
from black to white, from short to tall.
Definitions of computer crime has changed over the years as the users and
misusers of computers have expanded into new areas. "When computers were first
introduced into businesses, computer crim .....

increase, thus increasing the price the public must pay for the programs.
Companies reason that if they have a program that can be copied onto a
disc then they will lose a certain amount of their profit. People will copy it
and give to friends or pass it around on the Internet. To compensate, they will
raise the price of disc programs. CD Rom programs cost more to make but are
about the same price as disc games. Companies don't loose money on them because
it is difficult to copy a CD Rom and impossible to transmit over the Internet
(Facts on File #28599 1).

Computer Fraud And Crimes
.... whether or not there was any
malice intended.
One computer application that is becoming more widely used and, therefore, more
widely abused, is the use of electronic mail or email. In the present day,
illegal hackers can read email going through a server fairly easily. Email
consists of not only personal transactions, but business and financial
transactions. There are not many encryption procedures out for email yet. As
Gates describes, soon email encryption will become a regular addition to email
just as a hard disk drive has become a regular addition to a computer (Gates
p.97-98).
Encrypting email can be done with two .....

The Internet: It Was To Be The Great Equalizer
.... site affordability has made it easier for companies like
Phillip's to establish an Internet presence, the same is true for his
competitors. Hence, a glut of small to medium-sized florists camp out on
the Internet and fight to draw consumer attention to themselves and away
from deep-pocketed and more recognizable competitors such as FTD and 800
Flowers.
"There are now so many [floral] sites that the worthwhile ones often become
lost," says Lloyd Kennedy, founder and CEO of (888) Live Flowers. "And
because of the overall florist presence, it is now virtually impossible to
set yourself or your Web effort apart from the others."

machines without realizing the full import of what they are doing", I have a
hard time believing that so lets see what a "hacker" has to say about what he
does "Just as they were enthraled with their pursuit of information, so are we.
The thrill of the hack is not in breaking the law, it's in the pursuit and
capture of knowledge.", as you can see the "hacker" doesn't go out to do destroy
things although some do. It's in the pursuit of knowledge. Of course this is
still against the law. But where .....

reported this is mainly because organizations fear that their employees, clients,
and stockholders will lose faith in them if they admit that their computers have
been attacked. And few of the crimes that are reported are ever solved.
Hacking was once a term that was used to describe someone with a great deal of
knowledge with computers. Since then the definition has seriously changed. In
every neighborhood there are criminals, so you could say that hackers are the
criminals of the computers around us. There has been a great increase in the
number of computer break-ins since the Internet became p .....

kinds of crime, including fraud, theft, embezzlement, burglary, sabotage,
espionage, murder, and forgery. One study of 1,500 computer crimes established
that most of them were committed by trusted computer users within businesses i.e.
persons with the requisite skills, knowledge, access, and resources. Much of
known computer crime has consisted of entering false data into computers. This
method of computer crime is simpler and safer than the complex process of
writing a program to change data already in the computer.
Now that personal computers with the ability to communicate by telephone are

back then were huge, they were usually stored in wharehouses. The earlier ones
used paper with holes in them to give it instructions. Later the pre-PC's used
tape cartridges to store data on. Then came along in 1979 the first real
personal computer. Apple came out on the market with the Apple PC. Two years
later IBM came out with their version of the personal computer. When IBM came
out with their computer they were now in the PC market. Apple's biggest mistake
was not to make MS-DOS their operating system and they failed the market due to

be found in any company with twenty or more employees. A "PABX" is a computer
that manages the phone system including it's voice mail. Once inside a "PABX" a
hacker looks for a phone whose voice mail has not yet been programmed, then the
hacker cracks it's access code and programs it's voice mail account to accept
charges for long distance calls, until the authorities catch on, not for a few
days, hackers can use voice mail accounts to make free and untraceablecalls to

become outraged when the superintendents would send out the greensmowers daily
at 6:00 A.M. The diesel and gasoline powered engines are noisy, and would wake
up many members that live along the golf course. The second benefit is no cost
of gasoline or oil, and therefore no chance of a petroleum leak or spill. There

helps transfer RAM data twice as fast as normal RAM. For long term storage of
large amounts of data, hard drives have been under a constant upgrade of
performance, and it is not uncommon to find hard drives about 8-9 gigabytes on
the market.
Along with technology, an ease of use factor has been instilled in the
modern day PC's. The most notable ease of use enhancement is a GUI(Graphical
