Briefing to general audience. Some wear, soiling and corners creased. Reference on the sixth page to the of Lonnie Moore's study of Espionage Cases from a 1988 Department of Energy conference. Also references HHS/IG recommendations. Discussed similarities between espionage and computer crime, motivators, indicators, and possible responses. Lonnie Moore was the Computer Security Manager, CSSM/CPPM at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. Moore was still at LLNL in 2001 as a computer security article noted. With the help of Gale Warshawsky, Moore has created an entertaining security awareness video for children in elementary schools. The heroes are Chip, the friendly computer, and Gooseberry, the hapless untrained user. The villain is Dirty Dan, the nasty hacker. Dan drops crumbs into Chip's keyboard, destroys files and makes Chip cry, then makes Chip dizzy by feeding him a virus from another computer. Cybercrime, or computer-oriented crime, is crime that involves a computer and a network. The computer may have been used in the commission of a crime, or it may be the target. Cybercrimes can be defined as: "Offenses that are committed against individuals or groups of individuals with a criminal motive to intentionally harm the reputation of the victim or cause physical or mental harm, or loss, to the victim directly or indirectly, using modern telecommunication networks such as Internet (networks including but not limited to Chat rooms, e-mails, notice boards and groups) and mobile phones". Cybercrime may threaten a person or a nation's security and financial health. Issues surrounding these types of crimes have become high-profile, particularly those surrounding hacking, copyright infringement, unwarranted mass-surveillance, sextortion, child pornography, and child grooming. There are also problems of privacy when confidential information is intercepted or disclosed, lawfully or otherwise. Condition: Good.
