That's illegal -- or is it? Learn what, where and how to report computer crime!

You hear a lot about computer crime, and you know that good citizens report criminal activities to the proper authorities. But you also know that in practice, the police often don't have the time and manpower to deal with every minor offense. If you're a network administrator, you might not be sure exactly which activities you observe are illegal, which should be reported, and to whom you should report.

TechRepublic's Computer Crime Reporting Checklist describes potential criminal activities and groups them into three categories:

-   Those you should not report
-   Those you may report
-   Those you should always report

Both IT novices and seasoned pros will benefit from the concise but comprehensive checklist found in TechRepublic's Computer Crime Reporting Checklist.
