More and more, the operations of’ our businesses, governments, and financial institutions are controlled by information that exists only inside computer memories. Anyone clever enough to modify, this information for his own purposes can reap substantial rewards. Even worse, a number of people who have done this and been caught at it have managed to get away without punishment.
It’s easy for computer crimes to go undetected if no one cheeks up Mint the computer is doing. But even if’ the crime is detected, the criminal may walk away not only unpunished but with a glowing recommendation from his former employers.
Of course, we have no statistics on crimes that go undetected. But it’s disturbing to note how many of the crimes we do know about were de tected by accident, not by systematic inspections or other security procedures. The computer criminals who have been caught may have, been the victims of uncommonly bad hick.
For example, a certain keypunch operator complained of having to stay overtime to punch extra cards. Investigation revealed that the extra cards she was being asked to punch were for dishonest transactions. In another ease, dissatisfied employees of the thief tipped off the company that was being robbed.
Unlike ether lawbreakers, who must leave the country, commit suicide, or go to jail, computer criminals sometimes escape punishment, demanding not only that they not lee charged but that they be given good recommendations and perhaps other benefits. All too often, their demands have been met.
Why? Because company executives are afraid of the bad publicity that would result if the public found out that their computer had been misused. They hesitate at the thought of a criminal boasting in open court of how he juggled the most confidential records right under the roses of the company’s executives, accountants, and security staff. And so another computer criminal departs with just the recommendations he needs to con tinue his crimes elsewhere.
It is implied in the third paragraph that______.
选项
A、many more computer crimes go undetected than are discovered
B、the rapid increase of computer crimes is a troublesome problem
C、most computer criminals are smart enough to cover up their crimes
D、most computer criminals who are caught blame their bad luck
答案
A
解析
本段的最后一句“The computer criminals who have been caught may have been the victims of uncommonly bad luck.”可知“在特别倒霉的情况下,计算机犯罪分子才可能被捕”,由此能够推理出的结论是“计算机犯罪得逞的比被捕的多得多”,故[A]是正确答案。
