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.
