Cyber crime is one of the fastest growing areas of crime.  Our daily lives, economic growth, and national security depend on a stable, safe, and RESILIENT cyberspace. We rely on this vast array of networks to communicate and travel, power our homes and run our economy.  Yet cyber crimes have increased over the last decade, exposing sensitive personal and BUSINESS information, disrupting critical operations, and imposing high costs on the economy.  More and more criminals are exploiting the speed, convenience and anonymity that modern technologies offer in order to commit a diverse range of criminal activities. These include attacks against computer data and systems, identity theft, as well as the deployment of viruses, and various email scams such as phishing.  Additionally, the threat of terrorism forces authorities to address security vulnerabilities related to information technology infrastructure such as power plants, electrical grids, information systems and the computer systems of government and major companies. Cyber crime even encompasses the realms of cyber bullies and cyber predators. Though not all people are victims to cyber crimes, they are still at risk. Crimes by computer VARY, and they don’t always occur behind the computer, but they executed by computer. The hacker’s identity is ranged between 12 years young to 67years old. The hacker COULD live three continents away from its victim, and they wouldn’t even know they were being hacked. Crimes done behind the computer are the 21st century’s problem. With the technology increasing, criminals don’t have to ROB banks, nor do they have to be outside in order to commit any crime. They have everything they need on their lap. Their weapons aren’t guns anymore; they attack with mouse cursors and passwords.
