Cybercrime: the global epidemic at your network door
Rodney Joffee · Network Security · 2010
Cybercrime is now everyone's problem. It impacts every business and every person in the world who has an Internet connection, or who owns a computer. Like the global recession or the AIDS virus, cybercrime is now everyone's problem. It impacts every business and every person in the world who has an Internet connection, or owns a computer. It affects entire companies, their staff, and shareholders when financial thefts occur. It affects the country when national secrets are stolen. And it affects the market when confidential intellectual property falls into the hands of the competition. Cybercrime is the fastest growing form of crime in the world: the effect of one successful attack on a corporation can have far-reaching implications for all of us.
