(short for robot network) is made up

of computers communicating with
each other over the internet. A
Botnet command and control center uses
them to send spam, mount
distributed denial-of-service (DDoS)
attacks, and commit other crimes.
 Types of Cybercrimes

is a collection of programs that

enable administrator-level access to
a computer or computer network,
Rootkit thus allowing the attacker to gain
root or privileged access to the
computer and possibly other
machines on the same network..

replicates itself over a computer

network and performs malicious
actions without guidance.
Worm

legitimate program, but it is
designed for malicious purposes
Trojan such as spying, stealing data,
deleting les, expanding a botnet,
and performing DDoS attacks.
 Types of Cybercrimes

infects executable files (such as .exe)

by overwriting them or inserting
infected code that disables them.
File infector
 Types of Cybercrimes

device remotely. It can be installed by
another piece of malware. It gives almost
Backdoor/remote total control to the attacker, who can

 Summary
• The most common cybercrimes are the following: fraud by
manipulating computer network; unauthorized access to
or modification of data or application; intellectual
property theft that includes software piracy; industrial
spying and access to or theft of computer material; writing
or spreading computer viruses or malware; and digitally
distributing child pornography.
 Summary
• By identifying all of the types of cybercrimes and related
activities, we will be able to prevent and counterattack
these cyber criminals. The thought that the internet is a
big source of information could also lead to different
disadvantages.
• Understanding the types of cybercrimes and their damage
or negative outcome to the community will give an idea to
criminology students on how to solve cybercrime using the
same platform or technology the criminal uses.
