Describe what 'techno-crime' is, and describe 'eight' examples, identifying in each case whether it would constitute an act of sabotage, and 'why'?

Techno crime refers to any illegal activity performed
using technology as a conduit. It includes unethical treatment of secured information,
hacking, identity theft, and using the Internet communication tools for abusive
purposes.


These actions are conducive to
sabotage:


1. Using stored and encrypted information for
personal purposes- An example would be you being an IT person have access to social
security numbers, passwords, etc. Opening this information for your benefit is
sabotaging your clients.


2.Identity theft- Using someone's
personal information to conduct transactions or pretending to be someone to obtain that
person's information sabotages security.


3.Cyberbullying-
Using e-mails or chatrooms, newsgroups or other communication methods to introduce
libelous or vicious attacks on others sabotages the right of a dignified way of life in
others.


4.Stealing-Obtaining ATM information and removing
funds from bank accounts under the premise that you have the information as an IT person
sabotages against the validity of the profession.


5.Hacking
into medical files- Nowadays doctors are younger and have access to a myriad of social
networks where they may feel free to discuss private information. Disclosing information
of this type is illegal and sabotages the privacy of the
patient.


6.Spreading viruses- Those kids that sit back to
create viruses are creating cyberterrorism in a way and sabotaging the systems of all
people, as well as entering government agencies and infiltrating in important
databases.


7.Phishing= Hacking into other people's emails
to spread any form of message, e-commerce, or advertisements against the person's will
sabotages against their privacy and that of others.


8.False
links=If I run a children's blog and someone accesses my blog, he or she can use any of
my child friendly pictures to link them to porn sites, or other illegal sites for
malicious purposes and get a lot of people in trouble by sabotaging their
security.
