Another aspect of security providers and white-collar crime that people do not often consider is that of email  systems. It had not been a problem just a few short years ago when the Internet was still more or less attracting the novice-to-intermediate computer user; however, the growth  rate for the Internet was no less than fifteen percent back in 1994. It can be argued that with the ever-expanding user-friendly applications over the past decade that figure  has grown to represent a seemingly ceaseless procession to the World Wide Web. Attempting to manage the Internet Protocol (IP) address problem has been quite a difficult maneuver in  light of the fact that keeping track of such addressing schemes has not been fully implemented. "The Internet is under an increasing amount of stress due to its phenomenal
