Computer Crime Definitions (14)Virus - A virus is a nasty program that resides and infects the computer. The program may be triggered at any time, where it may take over the computer, re-direct internet traffic, use your computer to flood out spam messages. The virus attaches itself to other programs and soon infects much or all of the software on a computer.

Trojan Horse - A Trojan horse looks like something helpful and then when opened it turns out it gives you instructions for a destructive task instead.It can erase data or cause irreparable damage.

Spyware - Spyware refers to a program or technique that monitors what you do on the internet. The reasoning is advertising. By knowing what you do on the internet, information obtained about you can be sold to advertisers who then target ads your way.

31

Logic Bomb - Designed to sit harmlessly on a system until a certain event or set of circumstances cause the program to become active.

Worm - A worm is simply a virus that replicates itself, by sending out copies to other people.

Trap Doors - Security holesEmployees might destroy data or even trade company secrets to competitors using these security holes.

Pumping and DumpingCrooks use Internet stock trading sites or chat rooms to praise useless companies in which they hold stock. Once the share prices go up they take their profits and dump the stocks.

Phishing - A web page that is designed to fool you into thinking it’s something else, such as your bank’s web page. The idea is to fish for information, such as account numbers and passwords. The web page tricks you into providing that information because it looks legitimate.

32

Packet Sniffer - A program that examines all the traffic on a section of network.

Dumpster Diving - Intruders go through an organizations trash in the hope of finding documents.

Salami Shaving – a programmer alters a program so that it subtracts a very small amount of money from each account.

Data Diddling – insiders modify data so that it’s difficult or impossible to tell that they’ve stolen funds or equipment.

Encryption – Takes the original data and scrambles it through the use of a key.

Firewall – a properly configured firewall permits an organization’s internal computer users to access the external internet, while placing severe limits on the ability of outsiders to access internal data.
