Study Notes
Recognition and Definition of Computer Crimes
- Recognition and classification of computer crimes can be complex and influenced by various factors.
Targets
- Victims of computer crimes can vary:
- Individuals: Personal identity theft or online fraud.
- Organizations: Corporate data breaches or cyber espionage.
- Countries: State-sponsored cyber attacks or infrastructure sabotage.
- Illegal activities yield different outcomes:
- Financial gain, data theft, or disruptive impacts on operations.
Means
- The role of technology in computer crimes differs significantly:
- Hacking typically involves advanced technical skills and tools.
- Fraud schemes like phishing can be executed with minimal tech, often via simple email scams.
Incidentals
- Technology may play a varying role in some crimes:
- In online gambling, digital platforms are integral to the crime.
- Conversely, filing a false insurance claim may only use technology as a means to an end but is not dependent on it.
Historical Context
- Early examples of computer crime date back to the theft of physical computing devices, such as abacuses.
- Notable sabotage incidents include the destruction of Jacquard’s automated textile machine, illustrating that computer-related crimes have historical precedents beyond modern technology.
