Welcome to the Cybercrime blog.
The trend is up for cybercrime and like most areas of illegal activity no one knows the true extent, only estimates are possible.
Cybercrime issues include new techniques in use, (especially those made possible by the net for the first time), prevention, detection ( most effort, especially in the corporate crime areas is around detection rather than prevention), identity theft, credit card fraud (what are the ramifications of the new Payment Card Industry regulations, will all levels of business comply. Can they?), fraud and Anti-Money Laundering (AML).
AML and Counter-Terrorism Funding (CTF) are receiving a great deal of attention since 9/11 and the introduction of laws/regulations around the world. Compliance is not an option in most countries with significant penalties in place not only for non-compliance but even for not taking the matter seriously.
And one new area: with the development of “intelligent hospitals” with patient diagnosis, patient records, health management and even medication being carried out via remote communications what are the opportunities for cyber-murder?
