Computer Crime in Real Life

An endless number of computer crime cases is available for you to read. Most of the crimes presented in the following sections come from the Department of Justice Web site, online at www.cybercrime.gov. In these cases, we’ll look at several types of computer crime and how computer forensic techniques were used to capture criminals. The cases presented here illustrate some of the techniques that you will learn as you advance through this book.
