Passage 3
More and more, the operations of our businesses, governments, and financial institutions are controlled by information that exists only inside computer memories. Anyone clever enough to modify this information for his own purposes can reap substantial rewards. Even worse, a number of people who have done this and been caught at it have managed to get away without punishment.
It s easy for computer crimes to go undetected if no one checks up on what the computer is doing .But even if the crime is detected ,the criminal may walk away not only unpunished but with a glowing recommendation from his former employers.
Of course, we have no statistics on crimes that go undetected. But it s disturbing to note how many of the crimes we do know about were detected by accident ,not by systematic inspections or other security procedures. The computer criminals who have been caught may been the victims of uncommonly bad luck.
