“SAN FRANCISCO – Cybercrime cases are rising in high-tech regions, say U.S. law-enforcement officials. Prosecutors and investigators are seeing more cases related to computer hacking, theft of trade secrets and hardware, and other tech crimes. In Silicon Valley, the Santa Clara District Attorney’s Office is tackling almost 30 tech-related cases this year – twice as many as last year, investigator John McMullen says. In Boston, federal prosecutor John Grossman’s high-tech unit is juggling 10 cybercrime cases – “a marked increase” from last year. In Austin, Texas, incidents of tech crime have “skyrocketed,” says Detective Paul Brick of the Austin Police Department. Itscases are up 30%, to 84, for the first 8 months of this year from last year.
As the global tech economy grows, so does the value of stolen tech goods and intellectual property. Last year, 273 firms surveyed by the Computer Security Institute said they lost $266 million to tech crime. The $80 billion software industry estimates it lost $12 billion in revenue last year due to piracy.”
