Cyber Crime

Cyber Crime refers to criminal activities that are conducted via the internet or through computer networks. This includes a wide range of illegal actions such as hacking, online fraud, identity theft, phishing attacks, the distribution of malware, and cyberbullying. Cyber Crime can target individuals, organizations, or governmental entities, causing financial loss, reputational damage, and violation of privacy. It often exploits the anonymity of the internet, making it challenging for law enforcement to track and prosecute offenders. The term encompasses both crimes that directly target computer systems as well as those that use computers and networks as a tool to facilitate other illegal activities. As technology and digital communication continue to evolve, the scope and methods of Cyber Crime also expand, leading to increasing efforts in cybersecurity and regulation to combat these threats.
