Changes
in High-Tech Crime
[ send
me this paper ]
A 5 page paper discussing why the issue of high tech crime
is increasing in seriousness. Only a few years ago, the
phrase "high tech crime" referred to the theft
of computer equipment or perhaps software piracy. Today's
definition is much different, however. The phrase has
taken on a far broader - and more threatening - meaning.
It involves theft of intellectual property, vandalism to
computer systems by means of virus attack, breaches of
electronic security measures and a host of similar issues.
