Forms of Computer Crimes

People increasingly rely on internet services to conduct all sorts of personal and professional business. They may make purchases, submit sensitive information, or engage in interpersonal exchanges containing details that they would rather not be made public. The following are some of the actions that target these web-based interactions and which may lead to criminal prosecution:

• Computer fraud
• Identity theft
• Espionage
• Wire fraud
• Website defacement
• Vandalism
• Cyber-stalking
• Phishing

One of the more serious crimes is computer hacking. Typically hacking involves stealing passwords, breaking network security, planting viruses, or entering false data into a computer, oftentimes for financial gain.
