People want to feel safe. If someone has a valuable item, it is stored in a safe hidden in their home. To further secure a home, front doors are equipped with handle locks and deadbolts. To keep personal items safe, items such as wallet chains are used to stop criminals in their tracks. In the case of cars where they cannot always be monitored, anti-theft devices have been created to protect them from thieves. All these systems are in place to protect people and their assets. However, there is one area in people's lives that is not carefully checked for weaknesses. Computers offer criminals a wide range of crimes with less risk and no physical harm. These crimes have a huge impact on society because of the end results. Hackers can make companies thousands or millions of dollars, as well as targeting individuals. On a different level, stalkers can leave long-term effects on their targets and get away with it effortlessly. Furthermore, identity theft is costing people millions of dollars and there are very few ways to track people. All of these crimes can be committed by anyone in almost any place. Cybercrimes negatively impact society through hacking, stalking, and identity theft. Criminals develop along with technology. Once the Internet came out, people found ways to exploit it. For example, a man named John Draper managed to use a toy cereal box to access AT&T's network. The presentation told the phone company that a call was ready and he could use their system for free. In another case, Kevin Mitnick, wanted by the FBI for computer hacking, was able to access a computer learning system and modify documents. This attack caused millions of dollars in damage and was carried out for personal reasons.
