Cyber Crime.

 

Computer crime is one of the fastest-growing types of illegal activity, both in the U.S. and internationally. While the Internet links people together like never before, it also provides endless opportunity to criminals seeking to exploit the vulnerabilities of others.
Cyber crime statistics are staggering. Nearly 73% of Americans have encountered some form of computer crime or attempted crime on the Web. These types of crime are notoriously hard to solve and sometimes occur without the victim ever knowing anything illegal has taken place. Despite the risks, there are things you can do to help protect yourself from becoming one of the many cyber crime statistics.

What is cyber crime?

There are several different types of computer crime, many of which overlap. Below are a few of the most commonly reported.

• Phishing – Phishing is the practice of sending fraudulent emails in an attempt to trick the recipient, usually for the purpose of obtaining money. The elderly are particularly vulnerable to these types of cyber crime.
  
• Hacking – Hacking is similar to digital trespassing. Hackers infiltrate online networks to illegally download confidential information, manipulate functions and in some cases steal identities that can be used to fraudulently purchase goods online.
  
• Stalking and/or Harassment – Not all types of cyber crime involve money. Some cyber criminals use the Internet as a cover for other illegal behaviors like stalking, harassment and in lesser cases, bullying.
  

How you can protect yourself from computer crime

Though cyber crime statistics are on the rise, even the most serious Internet criminals rarely make the FBI Fugitives List. These types of perpetrators are extremely difficult to track down. In fact, the FBI says at least 25% of all cyber crimes aren’t able to be prosecuted.
However, it’s not that difficult to stop many cyber criminals if you know what to look for. The Internet isn’t totally anonymous, and anonymity is what most criminals count on to keep their illegal activities under wraps.

Keep your family safe

For many Crime Stoppers home is the first line of defense, particularly when children are involved. Be sure your Internet connection is password-protected and your server is encrypted. If kids are using the Web, know what sites they’re visiting and exactly who they’re talking to.
Children are particularly vulnerable for cyber crime because they’re naturally less skeptical than adults. Be sure you teach your kids the dangers of the Web and give them concrete rules to follow when using the computer.

What are your risk factors?

It’s crucial to go a step beyond finding out “what is cyber crime?” and learn more about the specific risks surrounding your online activities.
If you like to purchase clothing online, for example, check to be sure all the sites you purchase from have a nationally affiliated security certification. If you like to visit chat rooms, never give out any personal information to anyone you don’t know.
Also, check crime reports in your area to be sure there isn’t a cyber criminal out there preying on people like you.

Know the online warning signs

The Web can be a perfectly safe place to learn, connect and shop, but you have to know what to avoid. If you see any of the following while online, assume a cyber criminal is at work:

• Suspicious “official” websites that look amateurish or poorly maintained
• Emails asking for personal information or passwords
• Sites requesting credit card information for entry
• Unsolicited communication from someone you don’t know
• Threatening or troubling language

The threat of computer crime is real, so act accordingly

Computer crime isn’t victimless. Millions of people lose money to ruthless cyber criminals every year, and some are actually physically harmed by people they meet online. When you’re using the Web, remember to stay alert, stay aware and protect your information.

Children as victims.

 

In order to help protect children from online sexual predators, it is important that parents and guardians understand how children’s vulnerabilities may make them susceptible to manipulation by these predators.

Curiosity

Children are naturally curious about sex. By acting as guides, predators can exploit this curiosity and gradually lure children into sexual activity. Adolescents questioning their sexuality are even more at risk, as they may go online with the intent of finding support and companionship.Instead, they may find adults looking to take advantage of this vulnerability.

Need for Attention

Even if children receive ample attention from their families, they still crave it from others, especially those they perceive as older and more mature. Predators may offer children affection and flattery in order to coerce them into sexual acts.

Rebellion

Children may become rebellious when they reach adolescence, and predators can use this to their advantage. A child who is victimized while disobeying parental rules may be reluctant to admit it for fear of being punished.

Respect for Adults

Because children are taught to obey and respect adults, they may be less likely to disobey directions given by an adult, even those which make them uncomfortable. An adult looking to harm children can exploit this to influence a child’s behavior.

Cyberbullying.

 

Cyberbullying is just what it sounds like - bullying through Internet applications and technologies such as instant messaging (IM), social networking sites, and cell phones. It can start easily—with a rumor, a photo, or a forwarded message—and just as easily spiral out of control. An embarrassing video posted to a social networking site by someone in Kansas tonight may be watched by someone in Japan tomorrow. Cyberbullying victims may be targeted anywhere, at any time.

 Common Forms of Cyberbullying.

• Flaming and Trolling – sending or posting hostile messages intended to “inflame” the emotions of others
• Happy-Slapping – recording someone being harassed or bullied in a way that usually involves physical abuse, then posting the video online for public viewing
• Identity Theft/Impersonation – stealing someone’s password and/or hijacking their online accounts to send or post incriminating or humiliating pictures, videos, or information
• Photoshopping – doctoring digital images so that the main subject is placed in a compromising or embarrassing situation
• Physical Threats – sending messages that involve threats to a person’s physical safety
• Rumor Spreading – spreading gossip through e-mail, text messaging, or social networking sites

Signs Your Child May Be a Victim of Cyberbullying

• Avoids the computer, cell phone, and other technological devices or appears stressed when receiving an e-mail, instant message, or text
• Withdraws from family and friends or acts reluctant to attend school and social events
• Avoids conversations about computer use
• Exhibits signs of low self-esteem including depression and/or fear
• Has declining grades
• Has poor eating or sleeping habits

Cell phone safety.

 

 

When you think about your children’s online activities, do you consider their cell phones? They have evolved from simple communication devices to mobile, miniature computers. For example, smartphones have operating systems similar to that of computers which allow users to download programs or “apps.” These apps help users do things like access e-mail and play games. Also, most cell phones allow users to download and upload content from the Internet just as they would on a computer. However, cell phones can be more difficult to monitor than a computer, and children often use them without adult supervision. Make sure to review your family’s Internet safety rules with your children and become aware of the following risks before allowing them to own cell phones

 Making Cyberbullying More Painful

Cell phones make it easy for children to communicate with their friends, but they also make them vulnerable to cyberbullying. Cell phones can be used at anytime and anywhere, giving cyberbullies unlimited access to their victims. Children may send and receive mean-spirited phone calls, texts, and pictures at any hour.
 Playing a Role in Grooming
Predators also know and take advantage of the fact that cell phones let them talk with their victims at any time. They are also aware that parents and guardians often forget to monitor children’s cell phones. Predators may send children cell phones and ask them to keep the phones a secret. They can then talk to and exchange text messages and pictures with children without close monitoring by parents and guardians. Others may ask children for their cell phone numbers after meeting them online or try to connect with willing children by sending texts to random numbers.

 Sexting Made Easy

“Sexting” is a term used to describe the sending of sexually explicit text messages or pictures of minors by minors. What most young people do not realize is that the production, possession, and distribution of explicit photos of minors, even if they are self-produced, may be illegal. Furthermore, if these explicit photos end up on the Internet, children may be taunted by their peers and jeopardize scholastic, athletic, and employment opportunities.

 Unintentional Sharing of Geolocation Data

Most smartphones have GPS technology which allows the user’s precise location to be pinpointed by apps and on websites. Social networking sites such as FourSquare, GoWalla, and Facebook take advantage of this technology by encouraging their users to “check-in” or share their locations. A “check-in” can be shared with a list of friends, so make sure you know who is on your child’s friends list before allowing them to use this type of technology. Children also may share their locations unintentionally through pictures taken with their smartphones; these photos often have geolocation data embedded in them. Consider disabling the location services on smartphones before allowing children to post photos online. 

Now Amazon Is Just Giving Money Away

Amazon is really rubbing it in. Notorious for its willingness to lose money to drive ever-increasing sales, the company said Wednesday that it is now giving customers the option to donate 0.5 percent of the price of many purchases to charity through a new project called Amazon Smile.

The process is pretty easy: Customers go to smile.amazon.com and choose a charity.Amazon (AMZN) suggests a few, such as the American Red Cross and the Nature Conservancy. From that point on, the donations are sent automatically. There isn't a cap on how much money Amazon will send to charities, but the program does exclude digital items such as Kindle books and recurring Subscribe-and-Save purchases or subscription renewals. “Nearly all physical products are eligible,” says a company spokesperson via e-mail.

This cuts into Amazon’s profit margins, of course, or it would if it had them. The company lost 9¢ per share in its most recent quarter, while increasing 24 percent in sales over the previous year. Once Amazon explained this to investors, its stock price shot up. Call it the Amazon Paradox (as my colleague Brad Stone did at the time).

STORY: Hell Freezes Over: Google To Sell Facebook Ads

Amazon does get some direct benefit from Smile, because the company—not its customers—gets the tax advantages of the charitable donations. But the basic strategy is the same as the company has always employed. Do things to draw more customers, even if it means the margins from each transaction get slimmer.

This has led to questions whether Amazon can ever become consistently profitable. Is its sales growth completely reliant on its money-losing ways? Or is it playing a very long game by pumping its profit into long-term investments? Eugene Wei, a former Amazon employee who wrote an interesting analysis of the company’s business model on his personal blog last week, thinks it’s the latter. In many cases, Amazon sales categories are very profitable, but it has chosen to sink everything back into investment, largely into new fulfillment centers. Those investments lead to new sales. Lather, rinse, repeat.

In the same way that customers buy more when they’re offered free shipping, people may spend more when they know a chunk of it is going to charity. That means smaller profits immediately, but Amazon thinks it will translate into bigger ones in the future. Eventually we’ll see if it’s right.
