TYPES OF CYBER CRIME
• Hacking:Criminal hacking is the act of gaining unauthorized access to data in
a computer or network. Exploiting weaknesses in these systems, hackers
steal data ranging from personal information and corporate secrets to
government intelligence. Hackers also infiltrate networks to disrupt
operations of companies and governments.
MALWARE
• Malware, or malicious software, refers to any code designed to interfere
with a computer's normal functioning or commit a cyber crime. Common
types of malware include viruses, worms, trojans, and various hybrid
programs as well as adware, spyware, and ransomware.
IDENTITY THEFT
• identity theft occurs when someone “unlawfully obtains another
individual's personal information and uses it to commit theft or fraud”. Not
all identity thefts are a result of cyber attacks, but malware such as trojans
and spyware are often used to steal personal information.
PHISHING
• Phishing is a cybercrime in which a target or targets are
contacted by email, telephone or text message by someone
posing as a legitimate institution to lure individuals into
providing sensitive data such as personally identifiable
information, banking and credit card details, and passwords.
• The information is then used to access important accounts
and can result in identity theft and financial loss.
SCAMING
• Fraud is when trickery is used to gain a dishonest advantage, which is often financial,
over another person. Cyber crime is any criminal act dealing with computers and
networks. There are many words used to describe fraud: Scam, con, swindle,
extortion, sham, double-cross, hoax, cheat, ploy, ruse, hoodwink, confidence trick.
HACKING
• Hacking refers to the misuse of devices like computers, smartphones, tablets, and
networks to cause damage to or corrupt systems, gather information on users, steal
data and documents, or disrupt data-related activity.
• A traditional view of hackers is a lone rogue programmer who is highly skilled in
coding and modifying computer software and hardware systems. But this narrow
view does not cover the true technical nature of hacking. Hackers are increasingly
growing in sophistication, using stealthy attack methods designed to go completely
unnoticed by cybersecurity software and IT teams. They are also highly skilled in
creating attack vectors that trick users into opening malicious attachments or links
and freely giving up their sensitive personal data.
