Best Answer

The reason computer crimes and hacks are difficult to detect is because of software with numerous bugs and the fact that the IT industry is way behind hackers today. Software bugs allow hackers to enter your computer by being exploited or in the case of anti-intrusion programs, not correctly identifying an intruder or not even detecting anything at all. The reason the IT industry is falling behind hackers today is because there are not that many people working in the industry.
