Drawing experts from different fields, this taskforce endeavors to bring to an end such crimes. Experts will be drawn from law enforcement agencies, computer programmers, and other computer experts. The taskforce will partner with other leading agencies in the same field such as the FBI, National Intellectual Property Rights Coordination Center (IPR Center) among others in order to effectively thwart cyber-attacks. Through the help of a decent crime lab, equipment, tools and well-informed personnel the taskforce will most definitely make a significant progress. Cybercrime or computer crimes refer to those crimes that involve a computer in addition to a network or internet connection.
Especially when Cain killed Abel. This was because of greed and jealously. Cybercrime is not crime committed over the Internet but it is crime wherein the individual uses a computer. The Internet does not really provide the individual with new types of crime but it does provide the individual with an avenue to commit existing types of crime with a far-reaching effect. For example, identity theft was a crime long before computers existed.
Ethics in Computer Forensics Investigation Ethical & Legal Issues in the Professions By: Pete Gonzalez Professor: Steven Osburn DeVry University 06/19/11 Computer Forensics Investigation has become a new widely increasing field of forensics investigation. As with any investigative field there comes a time when ethical issues and principles will arise. We can take a look at some of the ethical issues associated with computer forensics investigation. Computer forensics is a tool of collecting, analyzing, preserving, and presenting digital evidences collected from a computer in a legally acceptable manner. The process of computer forensics is thus quite complex and involves various activities.
This includes hosts file poisoning, even though the hosts file is not properly part of the Domain Name System. Hosts file poisoning is discussed in the malware section since it involves changing a file on the user’s computer [14]. j) Content-Injection Phishing Describes the situation where hackers replace part of the content of a legitimate site with false content designed to mislead or misdirect the user into giving up their confidential information to the hacker. For example, hackers may insert malicious code to log user's credentials or an overlay which can secretly collect information and deliver it to the hacker's phishing server. k) Man-in-the-Middle Phishing This is harder to detect than many other forms of phishing.
The act addressed the law issue of computer crimes and focused on the criminality of using computers as tool to harm others. The field of digital forensics involves extracting data from digital devices. No one could have imagined that the field would grow so rapidly. Since the 1990s, digital devices have been transformed from plain ordinary hard drives to smart phones. Digital forensic investigations have also been transformed from using DOS based systems to extract data to today’s standards of using “clean rooms” to ensure the reliability of the data extracted.
People who have committed crimes and who have been caught have had their personal information entered into a computer system. These systems are being connected thought the world making it easier for law enforcement to track people’s movement. As long as an agency is connected to the system, they can receive information, such as DNA, fingerprints, pictures, and videos. This type of technology has made solving crimes quicker; however, this technology has also benefited criminal, who can know use the internet to commit crimes against others. This also caused crime rates to increase.
Lab Essay Assignment: DNA Technology and Forensics CODIS also known as the Combined DNA Index System is a valuable computer program because it helps keep the country safe from harm by identifying criminals. The program CODIS was created by federal, state, and local crime labs in the U.S. and is financed by the U.S. F.B.I. However, the Combination DNA Index System has many benefits but it also has many concerns. Some of the benefits include that the system would help in identifying suspects or the perpetrator by using a DNA profile that it contains. A DNA profile is a series of numbers which represents the individual.
While criminals get more creative, the criminal justice system and the forensic science specialists have to update the techniques and tools that are used while obtaining evidence for the new crimes. Furthermore, medicine and technology are vital tools for the forensic science department to use to help explain the actions of the criminals. Using the results of the crimes it’s essential for law enforcement agents because they are given the power to help convict an individual as well as the prevention of future crimes. The origin of this type of science cannot be accurately pinpointed however, according to writer H.J. Walls’ in his article “Whiter Forensic Science’’ it started as a hobby of a few scientists who liked to become mixed up in the proceedings of the police and enjoyed the kind of problems this association brought them (Walls 32).” Another writer Cowan in his article “Decision Theory in Law, Science, and Technology” The aim of science, traditionally put, is to search out the ways in which truth may become known.
Internet Pornography Regulations There is a debate going on as to if the government should get involved in regulation of internet pornography. Some say that FCC regulation will take away the first amendment rights to free speech; it is also easy for those who want to watch it to get any time they want. That the porn industry is a multibillion dollar industry and that it helps with the economy. On the other side which is much easier to defend; internet pornography is easily accessed, not just by adults but children too. There are also many sites that exploit children outing our innocent children in harmful situations.
“The increasing ease with which sophisticated technological tools can be used allows any person with basic computer knowledge to use them to facilitate criminal activities” (CISC, 2010). With this paper we intend to discuss the current level of understanding regarding the increase of the influence of technology in occupational fraud and abuse, both internally and externally initiated. Keywords: Fraud, Computer, Computer Fraud, Computer Crime, Fraud Deterrence, Fraud Prevention, IT Security, Electronic Crime Technological Influence on the Increasing Complexity of Occupational Fraud and Abuse Occupational fraud and abuse can be defined as “the use of one’s occupation for personal enrichment through the deliberate misuse or misapplication of the employing organization’s resources or assets” (Wells, 1997, p. 3). As more people use technology, criminals, including employees, also use it to their advantage and are able to not only view it as a source of income, but see it as a template for increasing their criminal activities. Many business and their employees are unaware of how easily fraud can be perpetrated, how their own managers and employees can take advantage of loopholes in technologically based security measures.
