Cybercrime comes of age

Peter Woollacott

CEO of Tier 3, gives a global analysis of cybercrime and shows why misuse, abuse and fraud is now a major compliance issue.


  Abstract

Cybercrime has come a long way since 1988 when the Morris worm – considered by many to be the first piece of malware and certainly the first to gain widespread media attention – hit the internet. The worm, technically a Trojan Horse piece of malware, was written by a student at Cornell University, Robert Tappan Morris, and launched on 2 November 1988.
