INTERNET AND CYBERCRIME IN IRAN
Between 2000 and 2005,the number of people which had regular access to internet in the world increased by 182%.At the same time,internet penetration in middle east grew by 454%,and Iran in that region had the highest growth rate at a staggering 2900%.
Internet usage and cybercrime to a parallel rise increased in the globe as well as in Iran.Statistics indicate 50% viruses and 30% fraud for whole of the world in 2004,although in the case of Iran by lack of reliable documents we cannot talk about the issue by exact statistics.But,according too many evidences and various events there is no doubt that cybercrime has increased sharply in Iran specially in recent years.
It should be suggested that government of Iran has acknowledged to tackle this issue.
