| Summary: | Crimes committed via the Internet are no longer a novelty either for authorities and companies or for
the general public, including potential victims. Transshipment of the human being to the virtual environment has
not left out the bad habits and the propensity to steal of some people. On the contrary, it seems that the
unprecedented development of the information technology [1] has given birth to a new category of dangerous
criminals - those who steal by means of a computer not just huge amounts of money, but also ideas, data,
identities and information from the most varied and unexpected areas. According to IT jargon, thefts via IT are
those illegal activities by which the criminal(s) causes (cause) losses to those who store in the online
environment personal information, saleable information, money or other valuables. Another “booming”
category of Internet crime is the theft of identity. This is a serious crime that most often than not is targeted to
stealing money. In today's society, we are often requested to disclose a great deal of personal information about
who we are and what we do, such as our signature, address, passwords, phone numbers, and in particular
information about our credit cards and the various banking services we use. The problem concerns not only the
theft of data and information, but also the loss of data and information. This paper aims to tackle a few
important aspects of this issue. |
