History Of Cyber Crime

The

first recorded cyber crime took

place in the year 1820!
In 1820, Joseph-Marie Jacquard, a textile
manufacturer in France, produced the loom. This
device allowed the repetition of a series of steps in
the weaving of special fabrics. This resulted in a
fear amongst Jacquard's employees that their
traditional employment and livelihood were being
threatened. They committed acts of sabotage to
discourage Jacquard from further use of the new
technology. This is the first recorded cyber crime!

being swamped.
