DIFFERENT KINDS OF
CYBERCRIME
WHY IS CYBERCRIME INCREASING DAY BY DAY?
AS THE TECHNOLOGY IS ADVANCING
MAN IS BECOMING DEPENDENT ON
INTERNET FOR ALL HIS NEEDS AS IT
GIVES EASY ACCESS TO DO SHOPPING,
GAMING, ONLINE STUDYING, SOCIAL
NETWORKING, ONLINE JOBS, ETC. ALL AT
ONE PLACE WHICH MAKES IT EASIER FOR
HACKERS TO PERFORM THESE
ACTIVITIES.
WHERE THE RISK IS LOW AND RATE OF
INVESTMENT IS HIGH, PEOPLE ALWAYS
TAKE THE ADVANTAGE OF THIS TYPE OF
SITUATION DUE TO WHICH CYBERCRIME
TAKES SHAPE. TO ACCESS INFROMATION,
DATA AND USE IT FOR GOOD RETURNS IS
EASY BUT TO CATCH CRIMINALS IS
DIFFICULT. HENCE, CYBERCRIME IS
INCREASING ALL OVER THE WORLD.
HOW TO PREVENT CYBERCRIME?
TO AVOID BECOMING A VICTIM OF CYBERCRIME, WE ALL NEED TO ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY FOR
OUR OWN SECURITY AN SAFETY ONLINE. THIS MEANS USING SAFE ONLINE PRACTICES AND
BEING AWARE OF THE WAYS THAT CRIMINALS TRY TO OBTAIN PERSONAL INFORMATION
ONLINE.
SOME PRACTICAL THINGS ONE CAN DO TO HELP PROTECT AGAINST AND PREVENT CYBERCRIME
ARE BY :-
1. BEING ON THE LOOKOUT FOR EMAIL SCAMS
2. SECURING THE COMPUTER FROM CYBER ATTACKS
3. STAYING SAFE ON SOCIAL MEDIA
4. EXERCISING CAUTION WHILE SHOPPING ONLINE
5. KEEPING PERSONAL INFORMATION PROTECTED
6. ADOPTING STRATEGIES TO PREVENT EXPOSURE TO INAPPROPRIATE ONLINE CONTENT
 LIKE THE PHYSICAL WORLD, THE WORLD OF CYBERCRIME
CONSISTS OF PEOPLE, VARIOUS FINANCIAL, PROFESSIONAL,
BUSINESS AND EDUCATIONAL TRANSACTIONS, E-COMERCE,
MONEY AND FINALLY CRIME. ANALYSIS OF CYBER CRIME REFLECTS
CRIME IN THE PHYSICAL WORLD BUT CYBERCRIME IS MORE
DANGEROUS AND SOMETIMS MORE DIFFICUT TO TRACE AS
COMPARED TO CRIME IN THE PHYSICAL WORLD.

CYBERCRIME INTRODUCES SOME NEW AND ELECTRONICALLY

CONCLUSIO DETERMINED ELEMENTS TO CRIME. INSPITE OF ALL
TECHNOLOGICAL PROGRESSES AND STEPS TAKEN TO PREVENT
N CYBERCRIME IT WILL CONTINUE TO EXIST AS LONG AS THE
HUMAN SOCIETY EXISTS.

NEW AND TECHNOLOGICALLY INTRODUCED ELEMENTS TO THE

CYBER WORLD WOULD MAKE CYBERCRIME ONE OF THE MOST
DANGEROUS PROBLEMS OF THE MODERN SOCIETY. THEREFORE,
IT IS VERY IMPORTANT FOR ALL OF US TO ALWAYS REMAIN ALERT
AND BE CATIOUS WHILE USING INTERNET TO PROTECT OURSELVES
FROM CYBERCRIME. IT IS OUR RESPONSIBILITY TO REPORT
IMMEDIATELY IF SOMEONE IS A VICTIM OF CYBERCRIME IN ORDER
TO PREVENT FURTHER LOSES.
