I was at a bookstore on Saturday that had a $55 book called 
COMPUTER CRIME (it may be a textbook). In looking through the book,
which is aimed at system administrators, MIS guys, and the heads
of small businesses, I noticed no references at all to the kinds of
young explorers we often "hackers" or "crackers." Instead, the
the book seemed based on the a priori proposition that ALL of the
computer crime that sysadmins would be dealing with would be of
the intercorporate or disgruntled employee sort. The book's
copyright date was 1989.
