Introduction
Internet fraud may be broadly defined as any fraud committed through or with the aid of computer programming or Internet-related communications (such as Web sites, newsgroups, e-mails, and chat rooms.) Internet security attacks can bring to a halt all electronic data transfers, including bank transfers that can tie up large sums of money. Web site defacements can be used to send misleading information and propaganda. The Internet poses significant legal challenges to everyone using electronic resources. Copyright problems confronting the fields of education, business, entertainment, and government need to be addressed. Your research will help the company of Brent and Carmen set up new company policies.
