Is computer crime part of computer security?

Answer:
Not really, but many viruses, spyware, adware, malware, etc. can deliberately change the computer's security settings. Computer crime is generally where some organization or person is using their computer to accumulate to benefit financially illegally. It may also be any number of crime types such as scams, bogus lotteries, identity theft, cyber theft, belligerency, cyber libel, forgery, plagiarism, cyber terrorism, data manipulation, cyber vandalism, cyber assault, harassment... to name just a few.

As the world moves forward, so does crime, in the sense where it will find ways to adapt to new technologies and commit where people feel safe from physical crime. To help fight cyber crime, people should always purchase legitimate software with reputable social feedback, regularly monitor and update safety and security programs and use the internet and email wisely. It is okay not to trust and it is very important to READ EVERYTHING before you click.
