Text 3. What is a Cybercrime?⇐ ПредыдущаяСтр 14 из 14
Vocabulary
Cybercrime is one of the fastest-growing criminal activities on the planet. Cybercrime is defined as the use of any computer network for crime and the high-tech criminals of the digital age have not been slow to spot the opportunities. Cybercrime covers a huge range of illegal activity including financial scams, computer hacking, downloading pornographic images from the Internet, virus attacks, stalking by e-mail and creating websites that promote racial hatred. The term hacking was originally used to describe the activities of computer enthusiasts who pit their skills against the IT systems of governments and big corporations. Some hackers have broken into the computer systems of banks and other businesses, with the intention of stealing money - or information like credit card numbers. Scams by cyber-criminals include setting up bogus companies on the Net. Unsuspecting buyers are offered products at tempting prices, and then supply their credit card details - only to find that the site suddenly disappears. No phone number, no address and no redress. Another 21st century crime is identity theft. Criminals can trawl the web or other public databases for information about someone's date of birth, social security number and address and then use that to apply for credit cards and run up huge bills. Cyberstalking. The goal of a cyberstalker is control. Some examples of computer harassment are: - harassment; - Threatening e-mail; - Hostile postings about someone; - Spreading vicious rumours about someone; - abusive messages. Malicious codes like worms, viruses and Trojan horses cause damage on a greater scale. The damage they cause is worth millions to companies as well as government agencies. Industrial espionage. This is where corporations spy on other companies and with network systems. With so many cybercrimes on the rise the need for a cyberlaw is obvious, but the difficulties are baffling. The internet is a global system. We can now be attacked by criminals who do not need to come to this territory. Lots of policing arrangements have their roots in the fact that victim and offender are geographically co-located. An investigation that begins in one country may quickly lead elsewhere, but without the co-operation of other nations, it may be impossible to track down the perpetrators and secure convictions.

Exercise 20. Give the written translation of the text and make a short plan of the text. Three Famous Financial Fraudsters Vocabulary
In recent years a number of high-level fraud cases have made the headlines and continue to do so. Here are three of the biggest fraud cases from the 20th century, both from the UK and overseas: Frank Abagnale remains one of America’s most successful fraudsters ever, cashing $2.5 million over a five-year period in the 1960s. Eventually, he was caught and imprisoned in France, only to be released five years later as an unpaid adviser to the FBI. Abagnale still lecturing to the bureau’s Academy students more than 30 years, thought he does not get paid for his work with the FBI. As well as a series of books about his own experiences of fraud, Abagnale was the subject of the Leonardo DiCaprio film Catch Me If You Can. Robert Maxwell was a familiar face in the British media. His media organization, Mirror Group Newspapers, hit the financial rocks. The Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) found that Maxwell was heavily involved not just in the management of the group of companies, but in controlling the pension funds of his employees. He was also the only authorised signatory for transferring unlimited amounts of cash between the firms’ bank accounts. According to the DTI report, Maxwell routinely used the pensions of his employees to provide cash for investments to disguise the shortfall. In 1986 £ 34 million in cash was found at his place. Nick Leeson’s official website now carries the full story of how he brought down Barings Bank in 1995 as part of one of the highest-profile fraud cases in British history. Hidden among the financial institution’s accounts was error account number 88888, set up to hide a £ 20, 000 debt from an inexperienced employee’s poor investment decisions. In all, $1.3 billion was lost by Leeson’s dodgy dealing.
