”An appendix may contain some of the more valuable information in this report- summaries
of 148 cases of reported computer abuse that form the basis for a continuing study by
SRI. Proceedings of the first national invitational conference on computer abuse reported
in another appendix provides a candid view and reaction to the research by a group
with wide ranging backgrounds from an ex-computer criminal to a noted EDP auditor.
The report is the second of a planned series of papers on computer abuse. The first
was a final report done for Project RISOS at Lawrence Radiation Laboratory on ’Threats
to computers”. This second report provides more generalized views of computer abuse
- technical, legal, and sociological perspectives - and is the first attempt to document
and define the problem based on a typology of reported cases and investigation in detail
of several of them.
Computer abuse is defined as any act associated with computers where victims have
suffered or could have suffered a loss and perpetrators made or could have made gain.
The antisocial nature to computer abuse, as yet not clearly perceived, requires further
study and attention.”
