HISTORY OF CYBER CRIMETHE FIRST RECORDED CYBER CRIME IN THE 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.

They committed acts of sabotage to discourage Jacquard from further use of the new technology. This is the first recorded cyber crime!
