If the Internet is a new public space, with the place for debates (the agora made of blogs and forums), business (e-commerce), there is also place for crime in the cyberspace.
Cybercrime is criminal activity involving an information technology infrastructure, including illegal access (unauthorized access), illegal interception (by technical means of non-public transmissions of computer data to, from or within a computer system), data interference (unauthorized damaging, deletion, deterioration, alteration or suppression of computer data), systems interference (interfering with the functioning of a computer system by inputting, transmitting, damaging, deleting, deteriorating, altering or suppressing computer data), misuse of devices, forgery (ID theft), and electronic fraud. [cf : wikipedia]
Cybercrime can come frome individuals or States agencies. One of the most recent and large exemple was the attack from China against Tibetan websites. Matrix is also an exemple of cybercrime. Isnt'Neo persecuted ? ;)
About that, here is an excellent post from another CMM student, Zélie Berger.
