1. What is computer crime?
Computer crimes or cybercrimes encompass unauthorized or illegal activities perpetrated via computer as well as the theft of computers and other technological hardware. Generally, however, it may be divided into one of two types of categories: (1) crimes that target computer networks or devices directly; (2) crimes facilitated by computer networks or devices, the primary target of which is independent of the computer network or device. As firms of all sizes, industrial orientation, and geographic location increasingly rely on computers to operate, concerns about computer crime have also risen, in part because the practice appears to be thriving despite the concerted efforts of both the law enforcement and business communities to stop it. But computer experts and business consultants alike note that both international corporations and modest family-owned businesses can do a great deal to neutralize computer viruses and other manifestations of computer crime.
2. Give an example of computer crime not stated in the Computer Ethics Blog.
An example of computer crime not stated in the said blogspot is the crime that is termed as "Eavesdropping on Emanations". Electronic emanations from computer equipment is a risk you need to be aware of, although this is mainly a concern for military and intelligence data. Computer equipment, like every other type of electrical equipment from hairdryers to stereos, emits electromagnetic impulses. Whenever you strike a computer key, an electronic impulse is sent into the immediate area. Foreign intelligence services, commercial enterprises, and sometimes even teenage crackers may take advantage of these electronic emanations by monitoring, intercepting, and decoding them. This may sound highly sophisticated, but there have been some embarrassingly easy cases.
