CYBER CRIME
Every day, criminals invade countless offices across the nation -- not by breaking down windows and doors, but by
breaking into laptops, personal computers,
and wireless devices via hacks and bits of malicious code
.
The collective impact is staggering. Billions of dollars are lost every year repairing computer systems hit by such attacks. Some attacks are designed to steal sensitive and valuable information from companies' databases. Other attacks take down vital systems, disabling the work of businesses around the country.
DOLLAR LOSS WAS DOUBLED IN 2009
In 2009, the annual dollar loss due to Internet fraud was nearly double the previous year and cyber attacks on company databases are increasingly more common. (source: 2009 IC3 Annual Report)
The FBI's Cyber Investigations team aims to stop those behind the most serious computer intrusions and the spread of malicious code. Special Agent Scott Augenbaum from the FBI Cyber Crime Squad will be addressing the growing threat of cyber crime at this session. Join us to:
- find out about the most common cyber scams and the latest scams aimed at businesses,
- learn how to protect your business and your database from the threats of cyber crime, and
- learn how to file an Internet crime complaint.
