computer crimes were largely committed by individual disgruntled
and dishonest employees.
Physical damage to computer systems was a prominent threat
until the 1980s.
Programmers in the 1980s began writing malicious software,
including self-replicating programs, to interfere with personal
computers.
As the Internet increased access to increasing numbers of
systems worldwide, criminals used unauthorized access to poorly
protected systems for vandalism, political action and financial
gain.
