填空题 In many businesses, computers have largely replaced paper work, because they are fast and do not make mistakes. As one bank manager said, "Unlike humans, computers never have a bad day, and they are honest." Many banks put advertisements in the newspaper showing that their business bills are untouched by human hands and therefore safe from human temptation. Obviously, computers have no reason to steal money. But they also have no conscience, and a growing number of computer crimes show they can be used to steal. Computer criminals don"t use gun and even if they are caught, it is hard to punish them because there are no observers and often no evidence. A computer can not remember who used it. It simply does what it is told to. One clerk at a New York City Bank used a computer to steal more than one and half million dollars in just four years. No one noticed this, because he moved money from one account to another. Each time a customer he had robbed questioned the amount in his account the clerk claimed a computer mistake, then replaced the missing money from someone else"s account. This clerk was caught only because he was gambling. When the police broke up an unlawful gambling operation his name was put in the record. Some employees use the computer"s power to get revenge on employers they consider unfair. Recently a large insurance company fired its computer tape librarian for reasons that involved her personal rather than her professional life. She was given thirty day"s notice.
In those thirty days she wiped out all the company"s program records in the computer. Most computer criminals have been junior employees, but police wonder if this is true. As one official says, "I have a feeling that there are more crimes out there than we are catching. What we are seeing now is also badly done. I wonder what the real experts are doing—the ones who really know how a computer works."
