High-tech crime, also known as cybercrime, computer crime, Internet crime, and high-tech crime, is a broad term that encompasses any crime that involves the use of computers or other electronic devices. High-tech crimes can range from simple hacking and identity theft to complex financial fraud and terrorism.
High-tech crime is a growing problem. In 2020, the FBI’s Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) received over 700,000 complaints about cybercrime, with losses totaling over $4.2 billion. This is a significant increase from the number of complaints and losses reported in previous years.
