Computer fraud

Computer fraud is one of the offences against property defined by the legislator. It is committed with the purpose of financial gain or with the intent of causing damage to another person. It may also be classified as cybercrime if information systems and networks are used, including where an information and communication (ICT) system is applied in connection with committing the offence. Computer fraud is also described in this paper from a statistical perspective based on data from annual reports concerning cybersecurity incidents recorded by CERT Poland.
