WHAT IS CYBER CRIME ?

Computer crime or cybercrime is a form of crime where the Internet or computers are used as a medium to commit crime.

• SOME THOUGHTS ABOUT CYBER CRIME

• "The modern thief can steal more with a computer than with a gun. Tomorrow's terrorist

may be able to do more damage with a keyboard than with a bomb".

– National Research Council, "Computers at Risk", 1991.

TYPES OF CYBER CRIME

• Cyber crimes can be basically divided into 3 major categories:

1. Cybercrimes against persons.

2. Cybercrimes against property.

3. Cybercrimes against government.

1. AGAINST PERSON

• This committed against persons include various harassment of any one with the use of a computer such as e-mail.

• Eg:- The Melissa virus first appeared on the internet in March of 1999. It spread rapidly throughout computer systems in the United States and Europe. It is estimated that the virus caused 80 million dollars in damages to computers worldwide.

1. AGAINST PERSON

• Cyber harassment is a distinct Cybercrime.• Harassment can be sexual, racial, religious, or other.

Persons perpetuating such harassment are also guilty of cybercrimes.

• Cyber harassment as a crime also brings us to another related area of violation of privacy of citizens.

• No one likes any other person invading the invaluable and extremely touchy area of his or her own privacy which the medium of internet grants to the citizen.

2.AGAINST PROPERTY

• The second category of Cyber-crimes is that of Cybercrimes against all forms of property. These crimes include computer vandalism (destruction of others' property), transmission of harmful programmes.

• Eg : A Mumbai-based upstart engineering company lost a say and much money in the business when the rival company, an industry major, stole the technical database from their computers with the help of a corporate cyber spy.

3.AGAINST GOVERNMENT

• This crime manifests itself into terrorism when an individual "cracks" into a government or military maintained website.

• Eg:- Lashker-e-Toiba is collecting contributions online from its sympathisers all over the world. During the

investigation of the Red Fort shootout in Dec. 2000, the accused Ashfaq Ahmed of this terrorist group revealed that

the militants are making extensive use of the internet to communicate with the operatives and the sympathisers and

also using the medium for intra-bank transfer of funds".
