script iconHello/Intr Cybercrime
Return to index of stories... 		Hello. I'm Beth Carroll. Welcome to New Hampshire Outlook.
Cyber crimes are on the rise.
Cases range from child pornography to identity theft.
Even the state's own website is vulnerable to problems.
In February, hackers forced NH-dot-gov to close down.
No private information was compromised but information technology experts say the break-in should be a wake-up call for the state.
The state promises to take steps to prevent this from happening again.
In New Hampshire, the Department of Justice received some 35-hundred calls last year reporting criminal activities involving computers.
The backlog of cases at the state's computer crime lab was so great in the spring of 2004 that federal Secret Service agents came to Concord to provide help.
Now, more help is on the way.
Phil Vaughn has the story.
script iconIntro Identity Theft
Return to index of stories... 		The one form of cyber crime you're most likely to face is identity theft.
That's because credit card transactions, on-line purchases or bill payments made from a home computer -- put you at risk.
Once personal information is stolen it can be used by the thief in a variety of ways.
Phil Vaughn spoke with the state's Sr. Assistant Attorney General for consumer protection.
Here's what he learned.
script iconWeb Pointer

Internet Scams growing.
Country's real assets in ELECTRONIC storage? cashless electronic transactions
Technology and INTERNET changed landscape for financial services.
The Computer Crime Squads in FBI's new Cyber Division.
The U.S. government's first line of defense against cybercrime and cyberterrorism.
Its mission, "preventing and responding to high tech and computer crimes, which terrorists around the world are increasingly exploiting to attack America and its allies."
back in February 2000 when a massive denial-of-service attack shut down Web sites belonging to companies such as Yahoo! , eBay, and Amazon.com? It cost those companies literally millions of dollars in lost revenue. That attack, it turns out, was executed by a single high school student.
a battle to keep current in the face of unrelenting technological change, and they are so short-staffed that they can investigate only a tiny fraction of the computer crimes that occur. Agents
Day remembers a case from October 2000. The call came from the vice president of Bricsnet US, a software company in Portsmouth, NH. Bricsnet had just suffered a massive attack over the Internet. Somebody had broken into its systems, erased customer files, modified financial records, and sent e-mail to Bricsnet's customers, announcing that the company was going out of business.

Return to index of stories... 		Wednesday, February 9, 2005:
We pretaped an in-studio conversation for tomorrow's show at 3:30pm. The in-studio conversation for tonight's show was pretaped Monday. So we put together tonight's show immediately after the pretaped interview. All went well. We taped two promos -- one for tomorrow and one for Friday so we wouldn't have to worry about Friday's if it snows tomorrow. We finished by 4:30pm.
