First Online Murder

This was on Cool Cat and here is the link.  A japanese women accused of online murder.  Apparently, she gained access to her online husbands’ computer and hacked personal information.  http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,443767,00.html

This brings up the question of behavior online and offline.  This kind of behavior is unacceptable and luckily she was caught.  This kind of stuff could lead to other crimes.  I have seen sexual predators caught on Dateline NBC. 

I have a question:  Are there really jobs where people surf the internet looking for bad sites?  What are their qualifications?  What kind of school do you have?  Could this be something we teachers could do for a part-time job?

    I am sure there are more cases like this out there then we are aware of. All you need are a few pieces of information on a person and you can ruin them. I pay a lot of bills online and I have noticed that over the last 6 months they are really increasing their security. I think that it is pretty scary how relatively easy it is to get information about people online. I have a friend that could hack into one banks accounts and he wrote them an anonymous letter telling them how and they fixed the problem. Thankfully he is just one of those people that chooses not to steal peoples information because he really doesn’t want to go to jail :) . If he can get access to information than I know there are other not so kind people that can do the same.
    I guess there are jobs where people search for bad sites. I have read about people who are always on the search for bad sites that involve children. I am not sure how you would get a job similiar to this but I am sure that it does not involve a special degree or certificate.
