Cyber Crime
CyberPeace Foundation Cybercrime involves a
computer and a network where cybercriminals seek
to exploit human or security vulnerabilities to
steal passwords, data or money directly. Some
common cyber threats comprise hacking, like
social media email passwords, phishing, data
breaches, computer viruses, and other attack
vectors. Also, cybercriminals have turned our
ever-increasing dependence on computers against
us as a crime epidemic silently sweeps the globe.
They take advantage of changes to our online
behavior and adapt to new security measures that
help them evolve their cybercrime rates.

Causes for Cyber Crimes
? Facile Access System ? Meagre Reserving
Spaces ? Complicated Codings Laxity ? Loss of
Evidence and Evolution

FACILE ACCESS SYSTEM Systems security with
complex technologies makes it difficult or
impossible to safeguard them from cyber-attacks.
Thus, cyber crimes occur when the system remains
available to hackers for effortless
access. MEAGRE RESERVING SPACES Cyber attackers
have made the computer capable of storing an
enormous amount of data in a compact space as
their biggest hacking reason. COMPLICATED CODINGS
LAXITY Developers, who remain humans, program
operating systems with millions of codes, making
them vulnerable to errors. Thus, cybercriminals
may exploit these gaps in coding and make the
operating system malicious for the users. LOSS OF
EVIDENCE AND EVOLUTION The evidence regarding
hackers' first breach gets destroyed as they
generally attack a particular system in sections,
making their crime stronger and hard to detect.

Types of Cybercrimes

• ? Hacking
• ? Cyber Stalking and Terrorism
• ? Computer Vandalism and Malicious Software

HACKING Cybercriminals hack someone's personal
computer for their sensitive information using
different software. In this process, the
individual might not remain aware of his access
unrestricted to another person from a remote
location. CYBER STALKING AND TERRORISM Cyberstalki
ng remains a type of online harassment where the
victim becomes subjected to a barrage of online
messages and emails. These stalkers use the
Internet to stalk instead of offline to make the
victim's life miserable. COMPUTER VANDALISM AND
MALICIOUS SOFTWARE We may recognise computer
vandalism as malicious behaviour that involves
damaging computers and data in various ways and
potentially disrupting business. Likewise,
malicious software remains internet-based
software or programs to disrupt a network and
gain access to a system to steal sensitive
information or data or cause damage to software
present in the system.

At the End
Cyber crimes involve other types like piracy or
theft, fraud calls or emails, identity theft,
fake news sharing in social media, online
illegal sharing or dark web, and child
abuse. Therefore, multidimensional
public-private collaborations between law
enforcement agencies may remain a significant way
to tackle cybercrime. This establishment may
occur between the information technology
industry, information security organisations,
internet companies, and financial institutions.
