Running head: CYBERCRIME 1 Cybercrime Cybercrime

 

The name of the cyber-criminal is Robert James and he lives in Texas City. He is a thirtyyear old man who has been married for five years and has three children; two boys and a girl.

 

This criminal lives away from his parents, having marred his wife five years ago. Robert James CYBERCRIME 2 studied information technology at Oklahoma state university some seven years ago ad after

 

completing his studies, he has been working with several IT companies across the country

 

(Casey, 2002). He therefore has a wide experience on matters related to technology since he has

 

at one time worked as the communication director in the telecommunications department of the

 

government. However, sources indicate that he was fired from his governmental post following a

 

fraud case, in which he was accused as the main mastermind of the fraudulent activity (Hill &

 

Marion, 2016). Robert is therefore currently self-employed; having opened a website where he

 

runs what is believed to be online businesses.

 

Robert engages in a cybercrime that is known as identity theft. Since he has vast

 

knowledge about computer technology and operations of the computer system, he has been

 

gaining access to private information of the companies that he had worked for in the past. He

 

then uses the private information to monitor the companies' activities and even gain access to the

 

bank accounts of such companies (Hill & Marion, 2016). A couple of companies that he had for

 

in the past had launched complaints about the loss of huge amounts of money from their

 

accounts without their knowledge (Casey, 2002). Recently, he managed to steal the login and

 

password of online banking account of one the companies in the city and then accessed the

 

company's funds (Hill & Marion, 2016). He then proceeded to transfer a huge sum of money

 

from the company's account to his personal account. Through this, he has made a lot of money

 

and he is one of the riches people in town since he owns several buildings in town and has a fleet

 

of vehicles. As much as the companies have been keeping the private information of the

 

company in secret, Robert understands how their systems work since he has worked for them in

 

the past (Hill & Marion, 2016). He has therefore been monitoring their systems and he is able to

 

see when they change their passwords and what they change the passwords to. CYBERCRIME 3 The series of money loss observed by the company prompted it to hire a computer

 

technocrat to investigate what has been happening with the systems and how the money has

 

always been lost. This is the point that the fraudulent activities of Robert were discovered

 

because the computer guru noted that Robert had been withdrawing money from the company

 

account to his personal account for quite some time (Hill & Marion, 2016). After Robert's actions

 

had been discovered and exposed, several companies that he had worked for also came up with

 

the same complaint, and indeed it was discovered that it was him who had been doing this kind

 

of fraud over the past (Hill & Marion, 2016). The companies then reported this case and this is

 

the point when Robert was arrested and arraigned in court to answer to the charges. References
