• Respond to 2 classmate post. Please include the name of the person or question to which you are replying in the subject line. For example, “Tom’s response to Susan’s comment.”
  • Richard Munson: I believe that only the highest levels of law enforcement like the federal government will get close to catching cyber criminals in real time or soon after the crimes have been committed. This is because many times the victims do not know they have been targeted until after the crime has taken place. For instance, a person might have their credit card info stolen and used but not be aware until they get their statement from the credit card company some 30 days later. There is a fine line between protecting people’s privacy and harassing people in the way that credit card companies may put a hold on an account for a purchase they perceive as “risky”. Once my bank put a fraud alert and freeze on my bank account because I made a $20.00 purchase on PayPal and they did not bother to contact me about this. I had a pretty healthy bank balance at the time and took a business client out to an expensive dinner and was humiliated when my card came back as “stolen”, or possible fraudulent? It is overzealous acts like this that put financial institutions and law enforcement between a rock and a hard place when it comes to cybercrime.
• • Yolanda black: In an increasingly interconnected and technology-reliant world, cyber intrusion remains a major challenge for law enforcement officials globally. Despite this being a major issue with potentially serious repercussions, the nature of cyber-intrusion makes it a problem that is almost impossible to eliminate for law enforcement technology. One reason for this is that cyber-intrusion attacks can be executed remotely, which means that attackers need not be based in the country where they execute their crimes. Consequently, this means that it becomes much harder to track down and bring the criminals to justice since they may be in places where the US authorities even with their technology lack jurisdiction. For example, until recently, Ukraine did not even have a cyber crime law, which made it a haven for highly skilled cyber criminals who targeted US companies while remaining secure in the knowledge that even if they were caught they would never be extradited since their actions were not illegal in Ukraine. Another reason why cyber-intrusion is such a difficult crime to stop is that cyber-attackers often possess far superior skills than the law enforcement officials tasked with hunting them down. Many cyber-criminals spend years honing their skills and may often have access to top of the line equipment thus allowing them to execute their schemes easily without fear of getting caught. By comparison, most cyber crime divisions for law enforcement departments are usually under equipped or understaffed because these positions seldom ever pay well enough to attract the caliber of individuals required to effectively combat cyber-intrusion. Consequently, the skills mismatch between the cyber-intruders and the law enforcement officials trying to stop them makes it easy for the cyber criminals to escape justice.
