3. What IS Cyber Crime?
The Department of Justice categorizes computer
crime in three ways:
• The computer as a target: attacking the computers of
others (spreading viruses is an example).
• The computer as a weapon: using a computer to
commit "traditional crime" that we see in the physical
world (such as fraud or illegal gambling).
• The computer as an accessory: using a computer as a
"fancy filing cabinet" to store illegal or stolen information.
