Text 1
A lot of perfectly respectable small businesses are raking in money from Internet
fraud. From identity theft to bogus stock sales to counterfeit prescription drugs, crime is
widespread on the Web. But what has become the Wild West for cybercriminals has also
developed into major business opportunity for cybersleuths.
One of the most well-known is Kroll Ontrack, a technology services provider that
Kroll, an international security company based in New York, set up in 1985. Others
include ICG Inc. in Princeton, NJ, Decision Strategies in Falls Church, VA, and
Cyveillance in Arlington, VA, all started in 1997. “As more and more crime is committed
on the Internet, there will be growth of these services,” said Rich Mogull, research
director of information security and risk at Gartner Inc., a technology-market research
firm in Stanford, CT.
ICG, for example, has grown to thirty-five employees and projected revenues of $7
million this year from eight employees and $1.5 million four years ago, said Michael
Allison, its founder and chief executive. ICG, which is a licensed private investigator,
uses both technology and more traditional cat-and-mouse tactics to track down online
troublemakers for major corporations around the world. These include spammers and
disgruntled former employees as well as scam artists. “It’s exciting getting into the
hunt,” Mr. Allison, a forty-five-year old British expatriate, said. “You never know what
you’re going to find. And when you identify and finally catch someone, it’s a real rush.
Mi2g, a computer security firm, said online identity theft cost businesses and
consumers more than $5 billion last year worldwide, while spamming drained $3.5
billion dollars from corporate coffers. Those numbers are climbing, experts say. “The
Internet was never designed to be secure,” said Alan E. Brill, senior managing director at
Kroll Ontrack. “There are no guarantees.”
