    What is Cyber
    Crime?
    Digital technologies are utilized to
    commit cyber crimes, such as hacking
    and online identity theft. Cyber crimes
    tend to be remotely conducted globally,
    making it more challenging for law
    enforcement to capture the criminals,
    compared to traditional crimes.
    It is crucial to recognize the seriousness
    of cybercrime in safeguarding
    individuals and businesses from
    financial loss, damage to reputation, and
    exposure of confidential data.
    Appropriate measures should be
    implemented accordingly.
    Types of Cyber Crime
    DDoS Attacks

    DDoS attacks are used to make an online service unavailable and take the
    network down by overwhelming the site with traffic from a variety of sources.
    Large networks of infected devices known as Botnets are created by depositing
    malware on users’ computers. The hacker then hacks into the system once the
    network is down.

    Botnets

    Botnets are networks from compromised computers that are controlled


    externally by remote hackers. The remote hackers then send spam or attack
    other computers through these botnets. Botnets can also be used to act as
    malware and perform malicious tasks.
    Identity Theft

    This cybercrime occurs when a criminal gains access to a user’s personal


    information to steal funds, access confidential information, or participate in tax
    or health insurance fraud. They can also open a phone/internet account in your
    name, use your name to plan a criminal activity and claim government benefits
    in your name. They may do this by finding out user’s passwords through
    hacking, retrieving personal information from social media, or sending phishing
    emails.

    Cyberstalking

    This kind of cybercrime involves online harassment where the user is subjected


    to a plethora of online messages and emails. Typically cyberstalkers use social
    media, websites and search engines to intimidate a user and instill fear.
    Usually, the cyberstalker knows their victim and makes the person feel afraid or
    concerned for their safety.
    Social Engineering

    Social engineering involves criminals making direct contact with


    you usually by phone or email. They want to gain your
    confidence and usually pose as a customer service agent so
    you’ll give the necessary information needed. This is
    typically a password, the company you work for, or bank
    information. Cybercriminals will find out what they can about you
    on the internet and then attempt to add you as a friend on social
    accounts. Once they gain access to an account, they can sell
    your information or secure accounts in your name.

    PUPs

    PUPS or Potentially Unwanted Programs are less threatening than other


    cybercrimes,
    but are a type of malware. They uninstall necessary software in your
    system including search engines and pre-downloaded apps. They can include
    spyware or adware, so it’s a good idea to install an antivirus software to avoid the
    malicious download.

    Phishing

    This type of attack involves hackers sending malicious email


    attachments or URLs to users to gain access to their accounts or
    computer. Cybercriminals are becoming more established and
    many of these emails are not flagged as spam. Users are tricked
    into emails claiming they need to change their password or
    update their billing information, giving criminals access.
    Prohibited/Illegal Content

    This cybercrime involves criminals sharing and distributing inappropriate content that can be
    considered highly distressing and offensive. Offensive content can include, but is not limited to,
    sexual activity between adults, videos with intense violent and videos of criminal activity. Illegal
    content includes materials advocating terrorism-related acts and child exploitation material. This
    type of content exists both on the everyday internet and on the dark web, an anonymous
    network.

    Online Scams

    These are usually in the form of ads or spam emails that include promises of rewards or offers of
    unrealistic amounts of money. Online scams include enticing offers that are “too good to be true”
    and when clicked on can cause malware to interfere and compromise information.

    Exploit Kits

    Exploit kits need a vulnerability (bug in the code of a software) in order to gain control of a user’s
    computer. They are readymade tools criminals can buy online and use against anyone with a
    computer. The exploit kits are upgraded regularly similar to normal software and are available on
    dark web hacking forums.

    For example, a hacker might use a phishing email to trick an employee at a company into clicking on a link
    that installs malware on their computer. Once the malware is installed, the hacker can use it to gain access
    to the company's network and steal sensitive data. In another scenario, a criminal might use stolen
    personal information to open a credit card account in someone else's name, racking up charges and
    damaging the victim's credit score.
    The Cyber Attack
    Process
    The cyber attack process involves several
    steps, each of which is designed to gain access
    to sensitive information or systems. The first
    step is reconnaissance, where the attacker
    gathers information about the target through
    various means such as scanning for
    vulnerabilities and identifying potential
    weaknesses. Once the attacker has identified a
    vulnerability, they move on to the exploitation
    phase, where they attempt to gain access to
    the system or network. This can be done
    through various methods such as phishing
    attacks, malware installation, or social
    engineering tactics. Finally, the attacker moves
    on to the exfiltration phase, where they steal or
    extract the desired information from the
    compromised system.Additionally,
    attackers may use multiple techniques during
    each phase to increase their chances of
    success. As such, it's crucial to have strong
    security measures in place to prevent and d
    etect cyber attacks.
    Preventing Cyber
    Crime
    To safeguard both yourself and your
    organization against cyberattacks,
    ensuring strong passwords is key. This
    entails utilizing a mix of letters,
    numbers, and symbols, while steering
    clear of easily guessed words or
    phrases.

    Staying proactive is important in


    preventing cyber attacks. One should
    be updated and attentive to latest
    threats, avoiding unverified links or
    downloads, while staying vigilant
    towards suspicious messages.
    Additionally, keeping software and
    security systems up to date is essential,
    as updates contain important security
    patches to prevent attacks.
    Cyber Security Best Practices

    Implementing strong passwords


    is one of the most effective ways
    to protect against cyber attacks.
    Use a combination of
    letters, numbers, and symbols
    to create a password that is
    difficult to guess.

    Two-factor authentication adds


    an extra layer of security by
    requiring users to provide two
    forms of identification, such as a
    password and a fingerprint scan.
    Conclusion
    In conclusion, cyber crime is a
    serious threat that affects
    individuals and organizations alike.
    We have covered the types of
    cyber crime, the cyber attack
    process, and strategies for
    preventing cyber crime.

    It is important to take cyber crime


    seriously and be proactive in
    protecting ourselves and our
    organizations. By following best
    practices for cyber security, such
    as using strong passwords
    and limiting access to important
    systems, we can reduce the risk of
    falling victim to cyber attacks.
