Combating Computer Fraud
Steve W. Brown · IGI Global eBooks · 2008
Money is to be made with computer fraud. While this statement seems to be shocking, it is nonetheless a very real indication of the seriousness of the nature. As we are becoming more dependent on technology for our information and convenience, and the lack of process being made in stopping computer fraud, we are increasing the risk we place on ourselves. Computer fraud is often perpetuated by computer professionals who have an understanding of information technology. They have an advantage over the normal computer user, and due to the anonymous nature of the Internet, it is often difficult to catch and try suspects (Lynch, 2003).
