True Cyber Crime (derivative of True Crime genre) arose in the 1980s with Cliff Stoll’s The Cuckoo Egg.

This is noteworthy as the modern novelistic form of True Crime genre arose only in the 1960s. There are influential predecessors, of course.

Doesn't the True Crime Novel arise out of the Penny Dreadful and murder ballad tradition? We have been telling the true crime story in pamphlets going back to at least as far as Jack the Ripper.
