Best Answer

Because there are so many people they are doing. A list list of IP's will not tell you much either if the person uses different proxies when they connect which means multiple IP's can be from the same system. This makes it extremely hard to catch the people. Basically computer crime is uncontrollable.

What is a back-up and how can it combat computer crime?

A back-up in computer terminology generally refers to making a copy of all the information saved on one's computer hard disk. Often users will purchase a special hard drive they can plug in to their computer and copy their important information on to. This can help combat cyber crime, for example, if I had a copy of information from my bank stored on my computer and I backed it up onto a separate hard drive, then I could put that somewhere safe like my closet or office. With the information safely backed up, I could then delete the sensitive financial information on my computer. Let's say the next day after I do this, a criminal manages to access my machine and see my information. Since I removed sensitive data from the computer and stored it in a safe drive not connected to the internet (and thus vulnerable to compromise) I have saved myself the danger of having financial information stolen.
