What is cyber crime ?
In 1820, Joseph-Marie Jacquard, a textile manufacturer in France, produced the loom. This device allowed the repetition of a series of steps in the weaving of special fabrics. This resulted in a fear amongst Jacquard's employees that their traditional employment and livelihood were being threatened. They committed acts of sabotage to discourage Jacquard from further use of the new technology. This is the first recorded cyber crime!

Future of Cyber Crime
One of the biggest mistakes anyone could possibly make is assume that things will not get worse .
Wireless malware - Future malware attacks may be carried out wirelessly, hence making the air infected with deadly, computer viruses, just like their biological cousins.
Deadly combination - It is a possibility that in the future, viruses and worms can from a deadly pair. While the worms traverse across networks of computers, the viruses will dislodge themselves from the worms and launch individual attacks on the computer.
Adeadly payload - In the future, as virus-writing toolkits become more sophisticated, viruses could cause permanent damage to computers, making it impossible to recover files and programs lost because of the attack
Intelligent malware - Next generation intelligent malware will have the capacity to spread across multiple platforms, such as personal computers, servers and mobile devices. These intelligent malware will be able to coordinate with each other to launch massive Denial of Service (DoS) attacks.
