A crime occurs when someone breaks the
law by an overt act, omission or neglect that can result in punishment. A
person who has violated a law, or has breached a rule, is said to have
committed a criminal offense. Modern-age has added another definition of
crime - the cyber crime. Cyber crime encompasses any criminal act
dealing with computers and networks (called hacking).
Additionally, cyber crime also includes traditional crimes conducted
through the Internet. For example; hate crimes, telemarketing and
Internet fraud, identity theft, and credit card account thefts are
considered to be cyber crimes when the illegal activities are committed
through the use of a computer and the Internet.
