Document Summary
Gordon, s. , ford, r. (2006) on the definition and classification of cybercrime. The authors of this article explore the term cybercrime and what falls under its definition. Gordon and ford look to the council of europe"s cybercrime treaty and defines the term as offences ranging from criminal activities against data and content, to copyright infringement . While this is the traditional definition of cybercrime, the authors also explore works from zeviar-geese who explains that the definition is much broader than many believe. Cybercrime covers activities such as pornography, fraud, cyberstalking and unauthorized access (hacking). Gordon and ford also examine the united nations manual on cybercrime and share that their definition includes forgery, hacking and fraud. Further analysis occurs when the authors state that there are two types of cybercrime. Type i is classified to have characteristics such as: keystroke loggers and viruses.
