Cyber crime exposed in free public lecture

Thursday, 17 October 2002

The relatively new problem of cyber crime is bringing with it a new type of criminal, according to an international cyber crime expert giving a free public lecture at the ÐÓ°ÉÖ±²¥ of Adelaide on Monday, October 21.

Professor Henry Pontell (ÐÓ°ÉÖ±²¥ of California, Irvine) is giving a lecture entitled "Pleased to meet you, won't you guess my name?" Identity fraud, cyber crime and white collar delinquency at the ÐÓ°ÉÖ±²¥'s Law School at 12 noon.

Professor Pontell will explore the growing relationships among identity fraud, cyber crime and "white-collar delinquency" (which refers to adolescents - primarily hackers - who, by virtue of access to computers and the internet, can now engage in crimes that were once the exclusive realm of adults).

He will detail how the expertise of today's computer-savvy teenagers allows them to engage in major economic crimes, including the theft and destruction of databases and personal information.

The lecture is presented jointly by the ÐÓ°ÉÖ±²¥ of Adelaide Law School and the ÐÓ°ÉÖ±²¥n National ÐÓ°ÉÖ±²¥ Centre for Tax System Integrity.
