1. My computer has an
antivirus so it is okay to open
most e-mail attachments like
e-cards and video files.
2. Your friend told you that this
college application was rejected due
to the fact that you posted a video of
him doing crazy stuff at a party. You
posted the video several years ago
but later took it down to protect your
friend’s reputation. Can your friend
be right that the college found the
video?
3. You and your best friend
play a lot of video games. One
time, she asks you for your
password so she can help you
level up and get in-game
money. She promises to keep
your password a secret. Is it
okay to give away your
password?
4. You received an email
stating that your mother’s bank
account is going to be forfeited
if you do not respond to the
email. Is it safe to reply?
5. You forgot that your essay
for English class is due
tomorrow. While doing your
research, you found a website
offering free essays. Is it okay
to use the essay from this free
essay website?

multiplies and infects other
computers
through
flash
drives.
7. Keyloggers are software that
show popup ads even if you
are not using your browser.
8. There is a danger in posting
information about a future
vacation.
9. Letting people know your
birthday is probably a must if

you
vulnerable to identify the theft.

websites for search results even

A very effective way of
avoiding these threats is
verifying the authenticity
and credibility of the WEB
source.

Cybercrimes
Cybercrimes are illegal acts
done through the use of the
Internet.
In 2012, Stephen Nale (Complex.com) posted a
list of ten most common Internet cybercrimes as
follows:
1. Phishing/Spoofing – the act of sending multiple
emails to multiple users in hopes of having a
number of them clicking on the links or malwares
attached to the email.
2. Blackmail/Extortion – the act of using the
Internet to threaten or damage someone’s
reputation to extort money or anything else of
value. This can be avoided if you are aware of
what you should post on the Internet.
3. Accessing Stored Communications – or hacking; the act of
obtaining unauthorized access to data from a computer
network.
4. Sports Betting – the act of wagering on any sports event
over the Internet. In some countries, gambling (including
sports betting) is illegal even if you are doing it over the
Internet.
5. Non-Delivery of Merchandise – the act of devising a
scheme wherein a culprit posts an item or service for sale over
the Internet and once the transactions have been done, does
not really give the item or service.
6. Electronic Harassment – the act of anonymously using the
Internet to harass, abuse, threaten, or annoy other people.
7. Child Pornography – the act of using the Internet to show
child pornography. This act is highly punishable by law.
8. Drug Trafficking – the act of selling illegal substances
using the Internet.
9. Criminal Copyright Infringement – the act of piracy
mainly for financial gain. In late 2014, the number one pirate
website, The PirateBay, was raided for the second time due to
years of pirating movies, music, games, books, and other
software. These kinds of websites earn money through
advertising.
Combatting Cybercrimes
1. Network Security. Before a hacker can get through the
unauthorized files he or she is targeting, the hacker has to get
through several security measures like firewalls, secure
connections,
passwords,
anti-malwares,
and
data
encryptions.
2. Investigation. URL tracing and logging are used by
websites to track your unique IP addresses. This can be used
by investigators to trace hackers. In piracy, trackers are used
to identify IP addresses currently sharing a pirated file.
3. Penalties. More and more laws are being created and
implemented today. Penalties include both a fine and
imprisonment.
