An investigation of computer frauds written by DAVID OWEN
Without masks, shotguns, careful timing, or frenzied getaways, a bank can be robbed as easily as doing a crossword. Stealing becomes so simple that the only problem lies in deciding how much to order the bank to deliver. It is estimated that British business loses well in excess of £100-million a year as a result of fraudulent use of computer technology, the fastest-growing crime in Britain. What are the implications of this type of crime and how can it be overcome?
