One visit to the Computer Crime and Intellectual Property Section of the U.S. Department of Justice’s Web site Get Linux or Windows Managed Hosting Services with Industry Leading Fanatical Support. offers an eye-opening glimpse into the world of cybercrime.

 

Case after case details how the Feds are cracking down on cyber-criminals, defendants are pleading guilty, and the judged are being sentenced to prison. Despite aggressive law enforcement efforts, however, experts say cybercrime is growing at a rampant pace; a pace that rivals drug trafficking.

 

Cybercrime includes such illegal activities as child pornography, stock manipulation, piracy, and extortion — and security experts expect those activities to multiply as technology becomes more pervasive in developing countries.
