Computer fraud masked by great opportunity
Recently my competitor who worked at the same common customer attributed to me the responsibilities of the fact that the software I developed did not work.
I was warned a long time in charge at the customer that that scenario would be realized, and punctually the competitor made false attestations on me in order to get some time for time for “tap” The errors of the program, that is clearly evident, worked badly, Even using the computer provided by them.
Unfortunately the customer believed him, and the consequences will be seen, But I had to accept that he was wrong even the computer science themselves sometimes they do not clear the situation very clearly. How to blame the customer not to understand what they don't even understand professionals in the sector?
I am sure that among readers many people have undergone customers this type of situations, Sometimes arriving after paying with huge sums, And surely someone has developed a hatred for computer scientists, so much so that they are generally scammers. Unfortunately I find myself sharing this perspective.
The technique of scammers is quite consolidated and consists of always find new technical excuses to hide one's inability , But sometimes they themselves use them to bring the customer to spend more and more in new devices, software, assistance etc.. a bit’ such as those pharmaceutical companies that aim to keep customers sick through their own drugs and perhaps to create new ones.
For example, some say that a certain problem derives from a virus, but they never offer its demonstration.
Or they say the hardware is insufficient, or seek, When possible, to blame external third parties.
Finally, If they have no alternatives, blame the inexperience of the same user or to his new requests “non preventivate” which require a revision completely.
E’ a story as old like the cucco in which many can be reflected.
All this is not uncommon to join the fact that company employees use the responsibility for their delays in the work to the PC, hiding behind the “DOES NOT WORK” The “it is slow” , And this not only when it comes to their non -ability or not will to work, MA, worse, When they do not actually have enough time to carry out their duties but cannot say it in order not to risk the work.
I have always seen some computer fraud, I also foiled some of one, In particular, I foiled a very big gross scam at the root to the detriment of entrepreneurs from the North East convinced of entering a new communications business actually non -existent, on patents that were nothing more than “Questions” patent.
During my ultra ten -year career, I saw unfaithful employees to consume public and private money in a shameful way and often for personal benefits. But I saw much more dishonesty among the computer scientists, remaining myself in the same way not rarely.
Until recently it was not yet clear to me that the category of computer scientists “apical” (in short, they are at the top) they are even more dishonest than lawyers and accountants! In short, it is particularly dishonesty .
Unfortunately it seems to be like that, and just read “I would be a millionaire” by Paolo Valenti (a computer scientist) To grab the size of the problem.
Yet computer science for the economy is today as crucial as food , It is central in any activity as much as the electric current: think about what would happen if the telephony came less, cell phones and e -mails, that are now all digital systems.
Computer is today the fundamental nerve of almost any activity, also of agriculture, and making a global balance, I would say that we have come to a critical situation for the same company.
The computer profession is today of extreme importance and also requires ethical preparation, a regulation equivalent to that against food sophistications.
It is not clear why we all demand a certain ethics from the doctor, Rather , We want dishonest and incapable doctors to be punished exemplary. But for some reason we do not act in the same way against the dishonesty of the IT!
They are co -responsible for the greatest contemporary scams.
Where are the convictions for the accountants and computer scientists who have masked the fakes in the budget of the companies ?
Where the convictions of the bankers who falsified the accounts by deluding the account holders through specially developed software ?
The dishonest computer science is the humus that can lead us to the destruction of society, And in part it is already happening.
Looking back, they were the dishonesty combined with the computer technique that led to the outbreak of the .com in 2000. There was talk in those years of new economy, It seemed that everything could be done in the infinite prairies of the Internet……. There were actually many bales supported by complacent computer scientists.
Instead, a series of collapses of these companies have been seen, And who knows for what consequence the towers later also collapsed.
Thus there was another decade “industrial” based on war, period in which China did the lion's part, enriching the 20% of its population, But above all international bankers, who invested the money in China causing a recession of the West. In short, a decade in war has lived, topped with tax fraud such as that of Enron, or on the prices of Lehman Brothers, not to say Parmalat and maybe , today the doubt overlooks, Monte Paschi ….. , half economic world has been devastated by the consequences from the use of an ethics without an ethical.
The fact is that all this scenario has in common the sharing of computer scientists to organized crime, without computer science those large fraud would have been much more difficult or impossible.
Today we are starting again with the outbreak of products “telematic” such as bonds and derivatives, But in the meantime, computer science has become even more central, more powerful, more widespread, more sophisticated ….
In short, a legislation is needed that obliges the IT manager to denounce the fraud he learns in the context of his work as well as for other professions there are stakes in the freedom to act.
Otherwise, even more misery brought by fraudulent bankruptcy will arrive, And soon the crime will pay off the control of individuals through theirs “computer identity” (Everything is now in social networks and emails, in the hands of a few companies).
We have already seen the destruction of industrial and agricultural activities following pyramidal financial scams, And if we do not act the virtual it will transform our worst nightmares into real.
We are already inside, The problem is very urgent. To those who talk about “liberalism” and Libeccrtà I ask to pay first the accounts of the previous liberalism saved from state funding, And I courteously make a great excerpt.
Because nobody talks about it ? For incompetence, But if we want we can also think that politicians have already agreed for some time for the realization of a great technological dictatorship.
