DOWNLOAD: Computer crime reporting checklist

As good citizens, IT professionals should report computer crimes to the proper authorities. If you're like many IT professionals, you might not be sure exactly which activities that you observe are illegal, which should be reported, and to whom you should report. Our Computer crime reporting checklist helps you make that decision with confidence.

Download and review the checklist:

Then, use this discussion to share your experiences detecting and reporting computer crime. Have you ever reported a criminal activity? If so, what was the outcome?

(And no, I don't want to know if you ever got root on a DoD mainframe.)

Also, let us know if our Computer crime reporting checklist provided helpful information and if there's anything we can do to improve the document's format.
