Computer crime is an ever increasing problem that is affecting businesses, as well as individuals, who are discovering that their privacy is being invaded, their computers corrupted, and much more.
Computer crime can be defined as criminal activity involving an information technology infrastructure, which includes unauthorised access, illegal interception, data interference, forgery, and electronic fraud.
As the definition of computer crime is so broad just about anyone can be caught up in it. Whether it is theft of information from an office PC or personal data being taken from a laptop. The number of high profile cases where data or data storage devices such as USB memory sticks or hard drives have been stolen from government bodies and organisations show that no one is immune to computer crime in all of its many forms.
The good news is that there are ways in which to combat computer crime. Computer forensics is the methodical approach of examining digital media to establish factual information for civil or legal matters, and is a highly advanced method that can identify and prove who is responsible for the crimes against you and your computer.
