The integration of computers into daily business operations creates new opportunities for deviance in white-collar settings by opening the door for cybercrimes. Computers add an additional cyber risk in areas that otherwise wouldn’t have to worry about it by granting new access for crimes to be committed within a workplace. I believe this expands the criminal capacities that people have by storing secure data on devices that workers access and use every day. It opens the door for insider trading and stealing and selling private information. 

Employers who intend on committing a white-collar cybercrime, or any crime period all have their own reasons for doing it. Whether that is financial gain, revenge, attempting to get a new job or impress someone, etc. Think of the amount of individuals who have security clearances. It isn’t very hard to obtain a clearance. An individual could get a job and work in secure rooms with nationally secure date, and instead of maintaining that security and privacy, they could record, take pictures, or leak the information to whomever they want.

When it comes to the perceived anonymity of digital actions, people may feel more inclined to steal or commit a crime. If people believe that they could do something to obtain a personal gain and not get caught, there is a higher chance someone would commit a crime versus if they knew their identity was on the line, such as stealing cash straight out of a cash register. This level of anonymity could cost a company a great amount of money.
