Abstract

Questions about computer abuse abound in the popular press and in the computer trade and professional journals. Frequently asked questions focus on the extent of the problem and the abusers themselves. Some typical, critical questions are:* Is computer abuse a serious problem today in the U.S.?* How are systems being abused?* Who are the abusers and what motivates them?* Are privileged system users more prone to abuse systems than other users?
