High-tech crimes
Profits of high-tech crimes are high; hackers are able to steal without any geographical limitations. Categories of computer crimes: 1) Computers can be used as storage or communication devices whereby information can be created, stored, manipulated, and communicated electronically. 2) The computer can be used as an instrument or a tool of crime and can be used as a weapon to commit attack on the confidentiality, integrity and availability of information. High-tech crimes pose a problem to law enforcement agencies for two reasons: a) These crimes are not easily detected since the offenders can quietly commit them from any computer terminal, usually in the comfort of their own homes. b) Most of the law enforcement agencies are not equipped to deal with the matter.
