Recession Increases Crime

"Attacks, whether from internal or external sources, are nothing new.  However, there have been many reports over the past year or so (from Panda Security, PwC and M86 Security, for example) indicating that the state of the economy is to blame for the recent increase in computer crime, as it gives malicious parties more motivation to steal.  It’s as hard to argue with this common-sense argument as it is to figure out why these companies think this is innovative research. (Come on, people.  Is it really noteworthy that when times are tough more people steal?  Ask Jean Valjean, a character in the novel “Les Misérables”, if this is something new.)"
