Internet Related Identity Theft
Our home computers are not the only PC’s at risk for Identity Theft. Because of the insecurities associated with the Internet, it has become relatively easy for hackers and sophisticated computer users to assume the identity of another individual over the Internet. E-Mail accounts can easily be “spoofed” and communications can be made to look like they came from a specific individual when in all actuality they did not.
Corporate Identity Theft is also on the rise. Several corporations and corporate officers have been unkowingly involved in these cases involving corporate identity theft.
Cyber Stalking has also become a problem associated with fictitious identities. Individuals use the assumed identity over the Internet, to terrorize other individuals.
Patented technology has and continues to help law enforcement agencies in Internet related investigations. One process automatically identifies all Internet E-Mail addresses stored on a given computer. Another process automatically identifies all Internet web browsing activity on a given computer. This technology is also used by U. S. intelligence agencies to help identify Internet related links between terrorists and other individuals of interest to the government.
The Future Concerning Identity Theft
Currently, law enforcement agencies rely upon computer forensics to help even the playing field with the criminals who choose to use computers to commit crimes. Nevertheless, that may change if Microsoft follows through with their plans to make personal computers more secure in the near future.
It is important for you to understand that Computer Forensics exists because of the inherent insecurity of the personal computer. There are good reasons to make personal computers more secure but the tradeoff will likely benefit criminals, especially those who use computers to commit crimes and terrorists who rely upon computers and the Internet for their communications.
Our Hope Is That Time Is On The Side of Law Enforcement.
