Book Description

Publication Date: January 2003 | ISBN-10: 0890891109 | ISBN-13: 978-0890891100

This book presents a broad overview of computer and information crime. It first provides some technical background to allow an understanding of information protection law in a broader context. Then, presenting material on information protection policy, the book covers such topics as computer intrusions and attacks; computer viruses and other forms of "malicious code"; interception of electronic communications and search and seizure; online fraud; identity theft; infrastructure security; hacktivism; national security issues; economic espionage; and many more. With comments and questions that accompany each topic, Loundy uses a case-based approach. Articles discussing relevant technology are interspersed, and a detailed appendix includes relevant federal statutes and sample state statutes.
