Who are the computer criminals and what are ther objectives?

Some are mentally deranged, overtly hostile, or extremely committed to a cause, and they attack computers as a symbol. Others are ordinary people tempted by personal profit, revenge, challenge, advancement, or job security. The computer criminals attack the programs.


Objective:


The computer criminals seldom change fields from arson, murder, or auto theft to computing; more often, criminals begin as computer professionals who engage in computer crime, finding the prospects and payoff good. Electronic spies and information brokers have begun to recognize that trading in companies' or individuals' secrets can be lucrative.
