SEMINAR AND WORKSHOP ON DETECTION OF CYBER CRIME AND INVESTIGATION
CYBER CRIME
History reveals that the Cyber crime originated even from the year 1820.
That is not surprising considering the fact that the abacus, which is thought to be
the earliest form of a computer, has been around since 3500 B.C. in India, Japan
and China. The era of modern computers, however, began with the analytical
engine of Charles Babbage.
2. In 1820, Joseph-Marie Jacquard, a textile manufacturer in France,
produced the loom. This device allowed the repetition of a series of steps in the
weaving of special fabrics. This resulted in a fear amongst Jacquard's employees
that their traditional employment and livelihood were being threatened. They
committed acts of sabotage to discourage Jacquard from further use of the new
technology. This is the first recorded cyber crime !
