INTRODUCTION
Cybercrime is any criminal activity that involves a computer, networked device or a
network.
A primary effect of cybercrime is financial. Cybercrime can include many different types of
profit-driven criminal activity, including ransomware attacks, email and internet fraud, and
identity fraud, as well as attempts to steal financial account, credit card or other payment card
information.
Cybercriminals may target an individual's private information or corporate data for theft and
resale. As many workers settle into remote work routines due to the pandemic, cybercrimes
are expected to grow in frequency in 2021, making it especially important to protect backup
data.
DEFINITION_
1. crimes in which the computing device is
the target -- for example, to gain network
access;
2.
crimes in which the computer is used as a
weapon -- for example, to launch a denial-ofservice (DoS) attack; and
3.
crimes in which the computer is used as an
accessory to a crime -- for example, using a
computer to store illegally obtained data.
HISTORY'''
The first recorded cyber crime took place in the year 1820!
That is not surprising considering the fact that the abacus,
which is thought to be the earliest form of a computer, has
been around since 3500 B.C. in India, Japan and China. The
era of modern computers, however, began with the
analytical engine of Charles Babbage.
TYPE's OF CYBER CRIME
Financial crimes This would include cheating, credit card frauds,
money laundering etc. To cite a recent case, a website offered to
sell Alphonso mangoes at a throwaway price. Distrusting such a
transaction, very few people responded to or supplied the
website with their credit card numbers. These people were
Cyberextortion
Cryptojacking
Identity theft
Credit card fraud
Cyber stalking
REAL TIME CYBER CRIME
1. Social Network Fraud
It is also a crime to create fake profiles or to send fake messages to other users on social media. If a
user of social media creates a fake profile to impersonate another person, without the other person’s
consent, that action could be criminal. But a crime has only truly been committed if the fake user has
the purpose of causing harm, committing fraud, or intimidating or threatening someone with the fake
profile or fake messages. It remains to be seen if merely “catfishing” someone rises to the level of a
crime under this statute.
2. Cyberbullying
Cyberbullying occurs when people use social media or the internet to intimidate, harass, threaten or belittle
others. In Texas, cyber bullying is covered by several statutes. Some laws apply only to students, while
others are applicable to everyone. In general, if a person or student uses the internet or any other form of
electronic communication to threaten, harass or scare another person or student, this conduct may be a
crime. Furthermore, such actions carry the possibility of civil liability as well.
ADVANTAGE
1. Improved security from cyberspace to the real world.
The security of the world from rapists, pedophiles and other kind of
criminals are significantly reduced during the years due to the fact that
everything can be found as long as is online.
2. Increase in cyber-defense
cyber-defense..
Every cybercrime is created by finding a new loophole, this makes the
people who work on the defensive systems to improve and evolve their
systems constantly.
DISADVANTAGE
1. Improved hacker speed and ability.
Due to the fact that the web is getting faster and
faster and evolves every day and increasing its speed,
it allows the hackers to do more effectively some
kinds of crimes that require speed and skills. For
example robbing money from an account.
Some Other activity going on like hacker now a time finacial

account and threats.
