just imagine if they included illegal downloads the number would be a joke probably about 10 million if not more but at the end of the day there aren't many job in computer policing as in well anything involving the internet or a computer there just isn't enough man power to keep track of it or to even looking though confiscated hard drives etc Ridiculous numbersBy michael W

I read the headline in the Metro "A crime online committed every 10 seconds" Yeah, a crime commited online every 10 seconds if you think that a 12 year old saying "hey thar sexy ladee" or "stfu you noob" is considered a crime... Fair enough, 100,000+ cases of identify fraud or credit card fraud is a serious figure, but don't start tainting the article by trying to make a huge figure out of petty every day occurrences which clearly no one takes seriously such as "online threats" or "unwanted sexual advances" The period for commenting on this story has finished |
