ABSTRACT
Incidents of computer-related crime and telecommunica-
tions fraud have increased dramatically over the past dec-
ade, but due to the esoteric nature of this crime there have
been very few prosecutions and even fewer convictions. The
same technology that has allowed for the advancement and
automation of many business processes has also opened to
the door to many new forms of computer abuse.While some
of these system attacksmerely use contemporarymethods to
commit older, more familiar types of crime, others involve
the use of completely new forms of criminal activity that
have evolved along with the technology.
