Audit Planning for Investigating Cyber Crimes

Abstract

The exponential growth of technology into many aspects of everyday life has led to development of the modern concept of information society. This development of the information society offers great opportunities which are accompanied by new threats. Attacks against information infrastructure, Internet services, online fraud and hacking attacks are just some examples of cyber crimes that are committed on a large scale every day and the financial damage caused by cybercrime is enormous. The risks of cyber crime are very real and too threatening to be ignored. Every franchisor and licensor, indeed every business owner, Internet service providers, domain name registries, universities, law enforcement agencies, and other crossindustry stakeholders has to face up to their vulnerability and do something about it. An organized effort toward fighting cyber crime is required. In this paper, an effort has been done in this direction.
