- New Vision of Computer Forensic Science: Need of Cyber Crime Law

Based on its finding in the E-Reading study, and in the wake of the Philippines inability to prosecute the student responsible for the “I LOVE YOU” virus, McConnell International surveyed its global network of information technology policy officials to determine the state of cyber security laws around the world [ ¹]. Countries were asked to provide laws that would be used to prosecute criminal acts involving both private and public sector computers. Countries that provided legislation were evaluated to determine whether their criminal statutes had been extended into cyberspace to cover ten different [ ¹] types of cyber crime in four categories:

1. Data-related crimes, including interception, modification, and theft.
2. Network-related crimes, including interference and sabotage.
3. Crimes of access, including hacking and virus distribution.
4. Associated computer-related crimes, including aiding and abetting cyber criminals, Computer fraud and Computer forgery.
