Abstract
In closing, data crime can safely be said to be the wave of the future. Databases and not banks, will increasingly attract the attention of criminal cartels. Unlike bank robbers who, if apprehended and prosecuted, stand to face life imprisonment; data criminals rarely ever see the inside of a prison. Management, more than ever, needs to play a role in ensuring that data thefts do not pay.
