Cyber crime, or computer crime, refers to any crime that involves a computer and a
network. The computer may have been used in the commission of a crime, or it may be
the target.
Netcrime refers, more precisely, to criminal exploitation of the Internet. Issues
surrounding this type of crime have become high-profile, particularly those surrounding
hacking, copyright infringement, identity theft, child pornography, and child grooming.
There are also problems of privacy when confidential information is lost or intercepted,
lawfully or otherwise.
On the global level, both governments and non-state actors continue to grow in
importance, with the ability to engage in such activities as espionage, and other crossborder attacks sometimes referred to as cyber warfare. The international legal system is
attempting to hold actors accountable for their actions, with the International Criminal
Court among the few addressing this threat
