Internet - Organized Crime moves slowly to Cybercrime

Max Blumberg has an interesting post on "Internet Security: A New Level of Threat." (see his May 17, 2005 post - his permalinks seem to be broken)

He believes "Like any big business, organized crime is slow to change. It is run by conservative bosses who concentrate on traditional revenue streams such as drug trafficking and prostitution."

This makes sense, and resonates with my belief that internet crime is the playground of smaller entrepreneurial criminals. Some may be organized for sure, but most do not fit the mold of old-style traditional "Organized Crime."

The Internet really helps level the playing field for entrepreneurs and businessman, be they legit or crooks!
