What is the meaning of Computer crime in english?

Alternatively referred to as CYBER crime, e-crime, electronic crime, or hi-tech crime. Computer crime is an act performed by a knowledgeable computer user, sometimes referred to as a hacker that illegally browses or steals a company's or individual's private information. In some cases, this person or group of individuals may be malicious and destroy or otherwise corrupt the computer or data files.

In most cases, someone commits a computer crime to obtain goods or money. Greed and desperation are powerful motivators for some people to try stealing by way of computer crimes. Some people may also commit a computer crime because they are pressured, or forced, to do so by another person.

Some people also commit a computer crime to prove they can do it. A person who can successfully execute a computer crime may find great personal satisfaction in doing so. These types of people, sometimes called black hat hackers, like to create chaos, wreak havoc on other people and companies.

Another reason computer crimes are sometimes committed is because people are bored. They want something to do and don't care if they commit a crime.
