2. Oh what a tangled web we weave, when first we practice to deceive”
: Sir Walter Scott
With the information highway having entered
our very homes, we are all at increasing risk of
being affected by Cybercrime.
Everything about our lives is in some manner
affected by computers. Under the
circumstances its high time we sat up and took
notice of the events shaping our destinies on
the information highway.
Cybercrime is everyone’s problem. And its
time we did something to protect ourselves.
Information is the best form of protection.

3. “Technology changes everything, crime included” (Clarke, 2004)
BIG numbers and online crime go together. One
well-worn assertion is that cybercrime revenues
exceed those from the global trade in illegal
drugs. Another nice round number is the $1
trillion-worth of intellectual property that, one
senator claimed earlier this year, cybercriminals
snaffle annually.

4. "What your mind can conceive and believe, it can achieve".
Napoleon Hill
As we foster our self with special
acquaintance and special aptitude in
society, along with that power, comes
accountability to use it for the
betterment of the society.
Living in a society is governed by few
norms of social behavior accepted by all.
Although living in a real society and in an
e-society is entirely different as in real
society we know our boundaries and the
socially accepted behavior whereas in e-
society boundaries are blurred and we are
not aware of the fact that the things we are
doing are accepted by the e-society or not.

7. In the News…….
Cyber crime is now a bigger threat to India Inc than physical crime. In a recent survey by IBM, a
greater number of companies (44%) listed cyber crime as a bigger threat to their profitability
than physical crime (31%).
The cost of cyber crime stems primarily from loss of revenue, loss of market capitalization,
damage to the brand, and loss of customers, in that order.
About 67% local Chief Information Officers (CIOs) who took part in the survey perceived cyber
crime as more costly, compared to the global benchmark of 50%.

9. CONCLUSION
Traditional crime theory presents crime stimulating factors as:-
•Choice,
•Social process,
•Heredity & Upbringing,
•Societal Forces & Mental Disorders
Whereas, in the present Techno-Era ,criminals are much more
educated, technically equipped with higher IQ and the targeted
people to look upon as criminals (i.e. Poor people) in traditional
theories have been overlapped by the Bulging Middle Class
theory.
