According to the National Crime Prevention Council:
“A crime committed or facilitated via the Internet is a Cyber Crime. Cyber Crime is any criminal activity involving computers and networks.”
It can range from fraud to unsolicited emails (SPAM). It can include the distant theft of government or corporate secrets through criminal trespass into remote systems around the globe. Cyber Crime incorporates anything from downloading illegal music files to stealing millions of dollars from online bank accounts. Cyber Crime also includes non-money offenses, such as creating viruses on other computers or posting confidential business information on the Internet.
Are you a victim or a perpetrator?
By virtue of the tools being used today to commit Cyber Crimes, criminals are now more anonymous and provided with a virtual market of available victims. The responsibility falls on individuals to protect themselves and their families through safe online practices.
“In 2011, the annual cost of identity theft alone was $37 billion dollars….Identity Theft made up only 9.8 of all Cyber Crime in 2010.” (Gordon M. Snow, Assistant Director, Cyber Division, Federal Bureau of Investigation, Statement before the Senate Judiciary Committee.)
The Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) compiles and releases annual reports on the statistics and Cyber Crime facts,
