Content: If you are like me and know a little about computers, you know that these are very unlikely scenarios and I have a hard time accepting some of the equally unlikely abilities of and the number of “super-hackers”. To me, it is a lot like watching a crime drama where they get the DNA of a criminal before the detective makes it back to the station. So, does taking an action that is possible and presenting it as probable, or as a certainty, dilute the reality? Criminals taking control of your car’s computer, hacking your computerized prosthetic arm, or inducing a heart attack with your pacemaker is very very unlikely. Hacking into NASA to take control of military drones or for government agencies to take down the nation’s power grids make for good story lines and, while some of these things have already happened in the real world, it is more of something that might happen than is actually happening. According to Brian Murphy, ex Defense Department’s network security unit, “ No computer hacker has yet shut down an electrical grid or opened a dam .” So, I ask once again, what does this mean to you and me. What is CyberCrime
First of all, what is cybercrime and how pervasive is it? Cybercrime is any crime affecting an individual or group of individuals carried out by the use of a computer. It has grown so much that it is now bigger than illegal drug trafficking as far as making money for criminals.
