Every day is a new fight against with cybercrimes and as technology continues to develop new and improved version of things, and invent more gadgets, the war will continue. With the many tasks that were once done by hand being replaced with tablets, laptops, iPads, etc. the massive amount of sensitive information stored on networks, the operation of cyber security programs is required to effectively block hazardous or predatory cyber-attacks and any acts of identity theft but it is up to you to make that decision on what you are willing to trust and who do you trust with the information that you are putting out there.

Society is still seeing the infancy of computers, not just in its general growth, but in its capabilities of controlling every facet of our normal lives. If we do not attempt to broaden our awareness of computer science, we will continue to become victims of electronic attacks. Virus problem is getting worse. Increasing pressures to connect to the outside world, exchange information and do it all rapidly, decrease the control over what is exchanged and increases the potential for malicious code to penetrate even the best protected environments. The virus-writing underworld is determined to cause as much damage and trouble as they can, using the Internet to the maximum potential to spread rapidly while not exposing themselves to any dangers of being caught.

Furthermore, computer security is software applied in computers and World Wide Web when we want to access web site in World Wide Web we will get variety of viruses. This is because, viruses will damage our important data in computers that cause we could not work smoothly. Besides that, computer security also is our finance protector. This is because, many criminals cases also regarding bank account be stolen. So we need by way of computer security to safeguard our will not get pecuniary loss.

With the development of new powerful technologies and better communication systems the Internet threats have reached a certain level of maturity that concerns many. Cyber Security has turned into a dependency for many, such as: private organizations, government health institutions and many companies. The amount of information available in these systems could compromise them and the many users they support. In the article” Data theft from firms topped a trillion dollars in 2008: study” cyber security is the main topic. The formal ethical systems that could justify the actions reported in the article, if these actions are consistent with either the ACM or IEEE codes of ethics, and if the behaviors are consistent with issues of privacy or intellectual property are all issues that will be further discussed.

With this solutions it is certain the cybercrime problem will be resolved. In my opinion cybercrimes is the result of the lack of control governments have over the Internet. The internet grew so fast, governments didn’t have the time to control it. I consider cybercrimes a threat to our society because valuable information is stored in computers, and cybercriminals can access it and even alter it. The problem I see in combating cybercrime is that countries try to combat it internally, they don’t realize cybercrime is a world wide problem that needs to be fought in group.

As the internet grows vastly the more dangerous it becomes to its users. With the new advances in technology cyberspace fraud has been increasing. These new advances have made the internet vulnerable to various kinds of e-commerce fraud. New techniques to detect and prevent cyber fraud have been developed to discover and prevent criminals before the fact, rather than after the damage have been done. Individuals and businesses should recognize each new cyber attack and make themselves aware of the consequences each attack can create.

Even if a cybercriminal is able to enter into a business’s network and collect information, the information will be encrypted and difficult for a hacker to use to his or her advantage. In this day and age I also think that antivirus systems are essential. The threat of viruses is everywhere and with more than one person working for a business; the network is under a huge threat for viruses which would leave the company susceptible to hackers and the unethical act of not protecting personal information. 2. Introduction The Information Security Risk Assessment will provide Global Distribution, Inc. (GDI) with the necessary guidance information for understanding current vulnerabilities within the information security.

Hacking, as we know, is present in our society. From time to time, we see on the news how a website or a database was hacked and passwords or even some credit cards information have been stolen. All of these events affect our communities and make us wonder how safe we are from a cyber-attack, after all, all of important data like our social security number are stored on databases. Even government agencies have suffered this intrusion from a hacker that has put at risk the safety of its citizens. How it all did begin and how it affects our society?

One of the key areas under such a forecast will be the introduction of appropriate technology with systems that can collect cyber crime data within the jurisdictions in which these crimes take place. Business and private organizations that transact a lot through the internet are at risk of falling prey to cyber criminals and therefore more computer crime laws need to be enacted to seal loopholes that exist in enforcing the law. Privacy laws should be updated to include activities that are done through the web and this will help law enforcers to deal with cyber criminals who gain access to documents and information that they are not entitled to (Taylor, Caeti, & Fritsch, 2010, pp. 310-312). Forecast 2: Internet fraud and identity theft The issue of monetary fraud through the internet is one that is becoming challenging to law enforcers because of the increase in the number of people and... ... middle of paper ... ...
