Answer to Question 1

Cybertheft schemes range from illegally copying material under copyright protection to using technology to commit traditional theft-based offenses such as larceny and fraud. Other cybercriminals are motivated less by profit and more by the urge to commit cybervandalism, or technological destruction; they aim their malicious attacks at disrupting, defacing, and destroying technology they find offensive. A third type of cybercrime is cyberwar, which consists of acts aimed at undermining the social, economic, and political sytem of an enemy nation by destroying its electronic infrastructure and disrupting its economy. This can range from stealing secrets from foreign nations to destroying an enemy's Web-based infrastructure.
