My name is Bickram Mark Singh. I am a Systems
Engineer Manager; working for Verizon for the past 21+ years. Much of
my daily functions include trouble-shooting and problem solving; it is a
fast-paced, hands-on, non-stop work environment with deadlines to meet and
emergencies occurring constantly. My major is Cyber Security,
and this is my first Masters class with Bellevue University
Each week I will post information on interesting FBI Cyber Crime Stories. The
first story is quite an eye-opener for me. According to the FBI (n.d.) website,
the first online bank robbery occurred two decades ago, 1994, when a computer
programmer in Russia hacked into a major U.S. bank and secretly started
stealing money. During that time, the FBI did not have a cyber crime team. The
good thing is that this robbery opened our eyes to network security and raised general
awareness of the emerging online criminal threat. This robbery caused the FBI
to expand its cyber crime capabilities across the nation and around the world.
