ABSTRACT

Introduction As soon as cyberspace and e-commerce were created in the mid-1990s, cybercrime flourished on a parallel track. Today, in 2012, cybercrime has been doubling every single year in the number of incidents, as well as monetary losses. It is impossible to truly quantify cybercrime because most victims only see further losses in publicizing their inability to defend themselves from this modern day menace. The interesting note is that, of the cybercriminals who have been caught, the vast majority has pleaded guilty. This is because the collected facts-network traffic records-result in airtight cases.
