ABSTRACT

The investigator in you will probably answer “never” and “for no reason.” It is our natural inclination to continue an investigation until we are pleased that we have brought it to a satisfactory conclusion. We read, from time to time, about the detective who doggedly pursues a murder for years until he solves it. We respect that kind of dedication and, of course, it makes great press. Sadly, the real world of corporate computer crime doesn’t operate the same way.
