Go to jail!
Cybercrime is a term used broadly to describe criminal activity in which computers or networks are a tool, a target, or a place of criminal activity. These categories are not exclusive and many activities can be characterized as falling in one or more categories.
Although the term cybercrime is usually restricted to describing criminal activity in which the computer or network is an essential part of the crime. This term is also used to include traditional crimes in which computers or networks are used to enalbe the illicit activity.
Examples of cybercrime in which the computer or network is a tool of the criminal activity include spamming and certain intellectual property and criminal copyright crimes, particularly those facilitated through peer-to-peer networks.
Examples of cybercrime in which the computer or network is a target of criminal activity include defeating access controls (unauthorized access) , malicious code, and denial-of-service attacks.
Examples of cybercrime in which the computer or network is a place of criminal activity include theft of service (in particular, telecom fraud) and certain financial frauds.
Examples of common (Anti-social engineering) crimes facilitated through the use of computers or networks include Nigerian 419 frauds, identity theft, child pornography, online gambling, securities fraud, etc.
Another way to define cybercrime is simply as criminal activity involving the information technology infrastructure, including illegal access (unauthorized access), illegal interception (by technical means of non-public transmissions of computer data to, from or within a computer system), data interference (unauthorized damaging, deletion, deterioration, alteration or suppression of computer data), systems interference (interfering with the functioning of a computer system by inputting, transmitting, damaging, deleting, deteriorating, altering or suppressing computer data), misuse of devices, forgery (ID theft), and electronic fraud.
All of us are victims of cybercrime with spam. 75% of the exchanged mails in the world are spams: it is so huge! Hopefully, it is the only way I have been reached by cybercrime. But I could have bad experience because of cybercrime on my bank account on line. There are so many examples of it. When I check my bank account there is often a message warning us of current cybercrime.
01Net published an article explaining how some people used the pishing to extract personal codes.
It’s difficult to protect ourselves against these practices. But the first thing to do is not to open mails from people we don’t know or with strange names. An other way to protect ourselves is to use secured websites for risky operations, for example when you buy something on the internet, use famous websites as Amazon.
