Hi MD!
The Computer Crime and Intellectual Property Section (CCIPS) is
“responsible for implementing the US Justice Department’s Computer
Crime Initiative, a comprehensive program designed to address the
growing global computer crime problem.” The website lists a summary
of computer intrusion cases including a press release of each case.

The 1997-2001 Internet Fraud Statistics Reports are available to the
public at the National Fraud Information Center (NFIC) website. This
was designed to “help consumers distinguish between legitimate and
fraudulent promotions in cyberspace and route reports of suspected
fraud to the appropriate law enforcement agencies”.

CERT(R) is a center of Internet security expertise, at the Software
Engineering Institute, a federally funded research and development
center operated by Carnegie Mellon University Pittsburgh,
Pennsylvania, USA. At the website, you will find statistics reported
between 1988-2002 on the number of incidents, vulnerabilities
reported, security alerts published, security notes published, mail
messages handled, and hotline calls received. This data is used to
improve network security.

The European Union is telling us there "are no reliable statistics
available on the full scale of the computer-related crime phenomenon.
The number of intrusions detected and reported up to now, probably
under-represent the scope of the problem. Because of limited awareness
and experience of system administrators and users, many intrusions are
not detected. In addition, many companies are not willing to report
cases of computer abuse, to avoid bad publicity and exposure to future
attacks. Many police forces do not yet keep statistics on the use of
computers and communication systems involved in these and other
crimes. However, the number of illegal activities can be expected to
grow as computer and network use increases. There is a clear need to
gather reliable evidence on the significance of computer-related
crime."
