Cybercrime - PICT840

Cybercrime refers to an array of criminal activity including offences against computer data and systems, computer-related offences, content offences, and copyright offences. While early computer hackers were more interesting in youthful exploration, modern cybercrime is increasingly about criminal profit and this is reflected in the involvement of transnational organised crime groups. This unit will explore the types of cybercrime, the perpetrators, investigation techniques, and counter measures.
