From an IM conversation:
Bart Blanquart: The “cyber”-prefix is infectious – a Schneier article floated past me where he points out that fraud is fraud, even if a computer is used.
Bart Blanquart: And he succeeded in using “cyberfraud” in the same sentence in which he points this out.
Bart Blanquart: Was thinking that the whole “cyber”-prefix thing is interesting… if someone starts synthesizing DNA to mislead forensics, will that be called “biofraud”?
I don’t think it will have to go as far as DNA; presumably any form of faked drug testing – eg: using someone else’s urine for a sample – would be BIOFRAUD!
Yes…
→ BIOFRAUD! ←
…looks good and scary. Should garner any amount of Government funding.
