Data Storage Devices
.... used in the various forms of magnetic tape from audiocassette to
videocassette recorders. One of the first computer storage devices was the
magnetic tape drive. Magnetic tape is a sequential data storage medium. To

write data like disk drives, and are thus much slower, they h .....

"It is tempting to liken computer criminals to other criminals, ascribing
characteristics somehow different from
'normal' individuals, but that is not the case."(Sharp, 18:3) It is believed

and give to friends or pass it around on the Internet. To compensate, they will

While Web site affordability has made it easier for companies like
Phillip's to establish an Internet presence, the same is true for his
competitors. Hence, a glut of small to medium-sized florists camp out on
the Internet and fight to draw consumer attention to themselves and away

Computer Crime

Computer Crimes Squad estimates that between 85 and 97 percent of computer
crimes are not even detected. Fewer than 10 percent of all computer crimes are
reported this is mainly because organizations fear that their employees, clients,
and stockholders will lose faith in them if they admit that their computers have
been attacked. And few of the crimes that are reported are ever solved.
Hacking was once a term that was used to de .....

life. Now she is really behind so to speak in the computing world. Computers
back then were huge, they were usually stored in wharehouses. The earlier ones

the most popular form of phone fraud today. The first step is to gain access to
a private automated branch exchange known as a "PABX" or "PBX". One of these can
be found in any company with twenty or more employees. A "PABX" is a computer
