A closer look at computer crime

When one takes a penetrating look at the components of computer crime it reveals itself to be the same as any other crime. There’s an attacker and a victim, and the attacker requires the same three components to be successful – Motive, Opportunity and Means (MOM).

In recent history computer crime was less prevalent as the elements of MOM were few. Naturally the ever-present profit has always been around, but punitive revenge attacks such as denial of service, and malicious random attacks such as viruses created out of ego, are relatively new motives.
