Child porn
Threatening email
Identity Theft

5. Threatening email
(Scamming)
• The threats can be terrifying in their intensity
and must be successful or the scammers
wouldn't keep doing it to extort money from
their victims.
• Assassination threats, "I've been hired to
kill you."

6. Identity Theft
• Identity theft is a crime whereby criminals
impersonate individuals, usually for financial gain.
• In today's society, you often need to reveal personal
bits of information about yourself, such as your
adhar-card number, signature, name, address,
phone number, cell number or even banking and
credit card information.
• If a thief is able to access this personal information,
he or she can use it to commit fraud in your name.

7. Spam
• Spam is most often considered to be electronic junk
mail or junk newsgroup postings.
• Some people define spam even more generally as
any unsolicited email.
• However, if a long-lost brother finds your email
address and sends you a message, this could hardly
be called spam, even though it is unsolicited.
• Real spam is generally email advertising for some
product sent to a mailing list or newsgroup.
• In addition to wasting people's time with unwanted
e-mail, spam also eats up a lot of network
bandwidth

8. Phishing
• Phishing is an e-mail fraud method in which the
perpetrator sends out legitimate-looking email
in an attempt to gather personal and financial
information from recipients.
• The messages appear to come from well known
and trustworthy Web sites.
• A phishing expedition, like the fishing
expedition it's named for, is a speculative
venture: the phisher puts the lure hoping to fool
at least a few of the prey that encounter the bait.

9. Cyber Defamation
• Cyber defamation is not a specific criminal
offense, misdemeanor or tort, but rather
defamation or slander conducted via digital
media, usually through the Internet.
• Defamation is the action of damaging the good
reputation of someone.
