The definition of a cybercrime varies among different government
jurisdictions. An activity may be considered illegal in the United States, but
not under the existing laws of another country. Internet crimes can be committed
from any location, and criminals can select the location with the most lenient
laws. As a result, the forensic investigator cannot assume alleged
"criminal" activity is really a crime. The activity may only be
considered a nuisance in the cybercriminal's locale, which means a client or
corporation cannot prosecute the offender.
Today, business models such as online auctions and retail stores are
especially under threat due to these crimes. Without a basic understanding of
the cyber laws along with Internet security skills, it is impossible for the tax attorney to advise clients about their legal rights, the nature of a systems
attack, or online fraud operation.The purpose of this tutorial is to help
organizations prevent fraud and to help investigators detect all types of
fraudulent actions.
