Are you a cybercriminal ?


The internet is the best place to find criminals. Indeed everybody can be a cybercriminal.
Spamming, using files without the autorisation (like Youtube's files...) are cybercrimes.
You don't have to be a hacker (people who make financial frauds for example by extending existing codes or resources)
.
Cybercrimes can also be huge theft, for example industrial espionage. In 2005 in France a young chinese girl, who worked in the French company Valeo, stole 30 or 40 files through the intranet.
But cybercrimes is not always against big companies (like Microsoft), it can also be against real people. That is to say people use the internet to blackmail people. For example a british women had attacked her ex-boyfriend during three years by spamming, faked websites revealing that he was gay etc. In january 2005 she had been condemned. This example shows that the internet is an other way to do illegal things.
