Crimes
Computers, technology, and communications are now being used by criminal organizations. Telecommunications equipment are utilized by cybercriminals for identity theft, money laundering, child pornography, prostitution, trading weapons, drug trafficking, and gambling.
Safety
The encryption technologies and sophisticated network techniques used by cybercriminals place organizations at high risk of computer crime exploitation and place law enforcement in a poor position, considering their required action to deter and react to computer crimes. Law enforcement will need to maintain state-of-the-art investigations, retrain investigators to understand statutes, and use advanced forensic tools for the successful detection and prosecution of computer crimes.
