Learning Log # 3!

The past two weeks, we studied about cyber crime.

I learned the different roles of computers in different cyber crimes. They(cyber crimes) can be either computer assisted, in which the computer is the main factor in facilitating the crime. Another role of computers in cyber crimes is computer-targeted wherein the computer is the "victim" of the crime. Last one is computer incidental, where the computer is not mainly associated with the crime but is still critical element of the crime. These divisions gave me an insight that all cyber crimes are not necessarily the same in nature.

I also learned different laws in the US and the Philippines that aims to help maintain order in the within the realms of cyber space. Compared to the US laws in the Philippines are still lackluster, with only mainly two laws, there are still other possible crimes being overlooked.
