ABSTRACT
There was a time when major crimes committed via the Internet were done mostly by teenage pranksters, and major crimes committed in real life were largely done by adult criminais. Unfortunately these days are gone. Criminal organizations have discovered that online illegal activity can be as profitable as running a real-life scam or an illegal business. Organized crime, mafia groups, and terrorist groups are now using the Internet for illegal funil raising, fraud schemes, and money laundering. This paper will "follow the money" to show how the Internet is being used to finance terrorist groups and support organized criminal activity. We will also demonstrate why Cyber-Terrorism is not only acts of targeting other nation's cyber infrastructure, but also a means to funnel cyber cash to real-life terrorist groups.
