Summary

Since the advent of widespread Internet use, digital technology has been used for criminal intent. From computer viruses capable of shutting down and destroying infected computers to recruiting members online for hate groups, the ways the Internet can be used for nefarious purposes is practically limitless. But there is hope. Those in the digital industry are working to increase safeguards from cyber terrorists, such as heading off viruses before they can infect computers, and increasing cyber security. Digital Security: Cyber Terror and Cyber Security describes how computers are used both to commit crimes and to prevent them and concludes with a discussion of the future of digital crime and stopping its spread.
