As the internet expands, so does the realm of cybercrime. Said Brian Tillett, chief strategist at Symantec, “The annual cost of cybercrime is about $388 billion, which includes money and time lost. That is about $100 billion more than the global black market trade in marijuana, cocaine and heroin combined” (Gross, 2011, par. 6). Cybercrime refers to any crime that involves a computer and a network. Generally though there are two categories. The first are crimes which use computer networks that advance other ends that include a receiver and include fraud/identity theft and also phishing scams. The second is when the crime primarily targets the computer network which includes computer viruses and also malware (Moore, 2005). Cybercrime is a bigger situation than people perceive, as people do not recognize the problem until after the situation has either taken place or been resolved
