Cybercrime
Cybercrime has evolved significantly over the past decade, reflecting the rapid advancements in
technology and the increasing dependency on digital platforms. One of the most prominent trends in
cybercrime is the rise of ransomware attacks. Cybercriminals deploy malicious software to encrypt a
victim's data, demanding a ransom to restore access. These attacks have targeted a range of victims, from
small businesses to large corporations and government entities, causing significant financial losses and
operational disruptions. The sophistication of ransomware tactics has also increased, with attackers now
often threatening to release sensitive data if the ransom is not paid. Another concerning trend is the surge
in phishing attacks. Phishers use deceptive emails, messages, or websites to trick individuals into
revealing personal information, such as login credentials or financial details. These attacks have become
more sophisticated, often mimicking legitimate organizations and using personalized information to
appear more convincing.
This study aim to provide everyone to help us avoid expriencing trouble and problem like internet and
computer to investigate the current level of cybercrime awareness and cyber security practices among
college students in ICCT CAINTA MAIN CAMPUS.
