IDENTITY THEFT

Identity theft is the crime of obtaining the personal or financial information of another person to
use their identity to commit fraud, such as making unauthorized transactions or purchases.

IDENTIFY THEFT AS A CYBERCRIME

Under the Cybercrime Prevention Act of 2012 (Republic Act No. 10175), computer-related identity
theft is defined as “the intentional acquisition, use, misuse, transfer, possession, alteration or
deletion of identifying information belonging to another, whether natural or juridical, without right”
[Sec. 4(b)(3)

Identity theft covers identifying information, which refers to any name or number that may be used
alone or in conjunction with any other information to identify any specific individual, including any
of the following:

1. Name, date of birth, driver’s license number, passport number or tax identification number;
 2. Unique biometric data, such as fingerprint or other unique physical representation;
3. Unique electronic identification number, address or routing code; and
4. Telecommunication identifying information or access device.

HACKING

Hacking refers to activities that seek to compromise digital devices, such as computers,
smartphones, tablets, and even entire networks. Hacking nowadays most references to hacking, and
hackers, characterize it/them as unlawful activity by cybercriminals—motivated by financial gain,
protest, information gathering (spying), and even just for the “fun” of the challenge.

Hacking is typically technical in nature. Hackers can also use psychology to trick the user into clicking
on a malicious attachment or providing personal data. These tactics are referred to as “social
engineering.”

Types of hacking/hackers

Hackers attempt to break into computers and networks for any of four reasons.

 There's a criminal financial gain, meaning the theft of credit card numbers or defrauding
banking systems.

Next, gaining street cred and burnishing one's reputation within hacker subculture motivates
some hackers as they leave their mark on websites they vandalize as proof that they pulled off
the hack.

Then there's corporate espionage, when one company's hackers seek to steal information on a
competitor's products and services to gain a marketplace advantage.

Finally, entire nations engage in statesponsored hacking to steal business and/or national
intelligence, to destabilize their adversaries' infrastructure, or even to sow discord and
confusion in the target country.
