摘要

Every new technology leads to new forms of crime. As a Chicago policeman once put it: "No other section of the population avail themselves more readily and speedily of the latest triumphs of science than the criminal class." He was speaking in 1888, about the electric telegraph. But he could just have easily been speaking about computers and networks today. As criminals adopt new technologies, crime-fighters must follow suit, devising new ways to gather and analyse evidence. In the case of modern digital technology, the result is the growing field of "forensic computing". The scope for using technology in criminal ways, and the complexities of catching people who do so, are illustrated by the case of a 42-year-old Maryland man who pleaded guilty last October to attempted extortion after sending threats and demands by e-mail, and was sentenced to 63 months in prison. For more than two years the man had sent sexually explicit e-mails to the clients of a patent firm using a forged e-mail address which made it appear as though the messages came from the company's own executives.
