NDLI: Determining the proper response to online extortion

Content Provider	ACM Digital Library
Author	Payton, Anne
Abstract	Since business functions in a virtual world, many feel that online business crimes must be handled in a new way. These crimes are too often treated as an IT problem to be solved internally with proper procedures and technology. Putting security tools and practices in place is crucial, but online crime, like the offline version, shouldn't be handled alone. The only solution to this growing problem is to build up internal protections, then work with industry peers and law enforcement to build a common defense. This paper analyzes the most common forms of online extortion, and the most effective responses to them.
