Fraud is a disadvantage committed by a person or a group of people to benefit unjustly from other parties. Fraud can happen anywhere and anytime, fraud can be done by insiders who know all data and information owned by the company (internal fraud), and can also be done by outsiders, but fraud by outsiders will be difficult because a company certainly have had a security system to keep their data and assets.

Nowadays computer fraud occurs mostly from the irresponsible people, they just want to make a profit regardless of how they do right or wrong. This is of course very worrying and disadvantageous for us, to reduce the risk of computer fraud required precise prevention and serious supervision, if not handled seriously it will be very dangerous because it can cause losses that very much even can lead to bankruptcy.

Computer fraud is done with high technology that is difficult to detect, to detect it we can use software such as CAAT (Computer Assisted Audit Tools), with this tool auditors can be easier to uncover cyber crime through computer fraud, auditors who will audit the cyber crime must be experts in EDP audit and fraud audit. Currently we should be able to develop the science of computer forensic, because cyber crime through computer fraud increasingly sophisticated and widespread.

Typically, a LAN encompasses computers and peripherals connected to a server within a distinct geographic area such as an office or a commercial establishment. Computers and other mobile devices use a LAN connection to share resources such as a printer or network storage. A local area network may serve as few as two or three users (for example, in a small-office network) or several hundred users in a larger office. LAN networking comprises cables, switches, routers and other components that let users connect to internal servers, websites and other LANs via wide area networks. Ethernet and Wi-Fi are the two primary ways to enable LAN connections. Ethernet is a specification that enables computers to communicate with each other. Wi-Fi uses radio waves to connect computers to the LAN. Other LAN technolo...
