Computer_Crimes

Computer Crimes Times have changed and the world of technology is growing. These new times are also bringing new crimes. The crimes that I am talking about are crimes committed with computers. Computer crimes started in the early 1970’s and have become more and more prevalent. The reason computer crimes have increased is because of the popularity of the internet and the fact that people are becoming more and more computer literate. Many types of crimes are done on the computer. The most common crimes committed on the Internet are: Forgery (of E-mail), assault (on your Web site, E-mail box, or computer system), fraud (cyber scams), and robbery (theft of valuable information). Computer crimes can be done against the government, companies, and even everyday people. In my paper I will discuss computer crimes dealing the government, computer stalking, and computer criminals. Crimes against the Government: When some commits a crime against the Government , it effects the whole country. In 1995, the Internal Revenue Service instituted new regulations on electronic tax filing and returns. The reason for this action was to stop a rash of fraud that cost tax payers million of dollars in 1994. computer, crimes, system, attacks, information, committed, internet, government, criminals, break, access, new, hackers, criminal, user, systems, stalking, round, people, order, one, loner, financial, easily, crackers, companies, commit, becoming, various, using, types, trapdoor, terrorist, technique, out, numbers, hacker, gain, even, done, crime, computers, because, account, web, very, two, times, theft, terrorists
