Review: For us to stampede cybercrimes in our world, we need holistic approaches. The fight against the menace of must be engaged by all, because it is not just a law enforcement and techno-security issue. It is encompassing morality and socio - economic issues. Especially in Nigeria, were the menace is centered on internet fraud by most young people, who hide under the faceless platform of the internet to perpetrate all manner of crimes.

Review: Mistrust and reluctance to enter the electronic world will impact "everything from education to commerce". This is said as if it were a bad thing. Many act as if the world would end if the Internet suddenly went away; and yet the conveniences provided by the existence of the Internet are just that, conveniences. They are often (almost always) spoken of as necessities, yet they are not. The need for people and organizations to have a Web presence is a need only because everyone agrees that it is a need. Conducting business via the Internet is the same. If the trend were to suddenly swing the other direction, if wide-spread security issues were to convince the majority to with draw, to disconnect, there would be no real impact to the average person. The large, multi-national corporations would have a kitten; but only because a fantastic new way for them to keep their hands in our pockets would have dried up. I have no doubt that they would soon find another.

Review: Thanks for this important article. Yes, I do worry about my time on the Internet. I also wonder about the information I filled out on a hospital form years ago. My ISP has a firewall and spam filter. Then I have these on my home PC. I do not open any attachment where I am unsure of the source. I try to be as cautious as I can, but I'm never sure it's enough. PS: I would like to see a "Viewpoint" about corporate crime such as WorldCom and Enron from the eye of the victim. With a retirement account reduced by 75% how does years in jail make the person whole? Sure the lawyers win either way. But is it really "justice" if the victim is not restored?

Review: In this article the following statement was made "It's estimated that 85% of malware today is created with profit in mind." Where does this profit come from?

Review: It is also time to totally rethink the Internet itself too. The Internet has been constructed as a wide open space, with no limitation on anything. Not even the streets are that open. Is it surprising that cyber crime blooms? Many people would like the Internet to remain the frontier. They forgot that the frontier was also a place where you could get away with murder.

Review: A major security concern that the article should have mentioned is 'social engineering' defined as 'gaining of privileged information about a computer system by an unauthorized person masquerading as a legitimate user.' More often than not, the most complex security system is broken through by the owner leaving the key under the carpet.
