ABOUT CYBER CRIME & LAW

Ada begitu banyak definisi cybercrimes, baik menurut para ahli maupun berdasarkan peraturan perundang-undangan. Definisi-definisi tersebut dapat dijadikan dasar pengaturan hukum pidana siber materil.



MENURUT Sussan Brenner

“crimes in which the computer is the target of the criminal activity, crimes in which the computer is a tool used to commit the crime, and crimes in which the use of the computer is an incidental aspect of the commission of the crime.”

MENURUT Nicholson​​
[f]irst, a computer may be the ‘object’ of a crime: the offender targets the computer itself. This encompasses theft of computer processor time and computerized services. Second, a computer may be the ‘subject’ of a crime: a computer is the physical site of the crime, or the source of, or reason for, unique forms of asset loss. This includes the use of ‘viruses’, ‘worms’, ‘Trojan horses’, ‘logic bombs’, and ‘sniffers.’ Third, a computer may be an ‘instrument’ used to commit traditional crimes in a more complex manner. For example, a computer might be used to collect credit card information to make fraudulent purchases.
