  1. Its nothing new and have been going on for quite some time now. It just good to know that it being brought out to the forefront for others to beaware of it. Crime is not just limited to individuals, material, and credit cards. It is behind the scene of big businesses that is effecting our economy in another manner. This particular crime is above my intellect but it good to read about the unknown and be informed about future crime programs of this magnitude. Keep it coming...my be interest in a career in this field.

  2. How scary is it that Cybercrime is out there and we have no idea if it is happening to us or a billion dollar company until it is too late. Mann mentioned that Russia uses their hacking as a way to get into our bank accounts. China uses hacking to get information from companies or try to get security military information. The world relies on the internet for everything such as communicating, reading, paying bills, classes, and much more. Think about it, we freak out when we cannot do something on the internet, or maybe if it is down or slow. I personally do not know enough about the internet. When I was growing up we had the computers that were black with a green cursor. Who would have ever imagined that we would be able to do all the things we can now. Something else about cybercrime is trying to track down the criminal. If they are in another country and their country is backing them, what happens then? This reminds me a little about traveling to another country were if you commit a crime they handle things differently than we do. I personally am scared of my identity being stolen from the internet. We should all be worried about that. It is hard to imagine that young adolescents are able to do this crime so well.

  3. Cybercrime is one of the toughest crimes to protect people from. For the simple fact that we do not know that is going on until the damage is already done. We use the internet for so much it is hard to imagine what we would do without it. Technology has been invented to make our lives easier but with good comes bad. Criminals have found a way to use technology against us. In this article it shows how exactly it is being used against us. Without knowing it a criminal is inside our house and work, when you turn on your computer you just might have someone on the other side taking your personal information.

  4. Criminals and crime are always evolving. cybercrime is another way for people fraud other people and become rich. technology is going to keep growing and more and more cybercrime will take place. the world uses the internet and computers to do everything. security measures are taken to prevent cybercrime but criminals will find new ways of getting to what we want hidden. i believe if someone wants something they will eventually get it if they work hard enough. legally or illigally does not matter. cyber crime is the new generation crook.
