permission— typically by hacking into the resource.
• Unauthorized use involves using a computer resource for
unauthorized activities.
• To explain acceptable computer
use to their employees, students,
or other users, many organizations
and educational institutions
publish guidelines for behavior,
often called codes of conduct.
CMPTR Chapter 6: Network and Internet Security and Privacy 5
6. Hacking
• Hacking refers to the act of breaking into a computer or
network.
• The increased number of systems controlled by computers and
connected to the Internet, along with the continually

located there.
• Data on Web sites can also be altered by hackers.
CMPTR Chapter 6: Network and Internet Security and Privacy 17
18. Online Theft, Online Fraud, and
Other Dot Cons
• The best protection against many dot cons is protecting your
identity—that is, protecting any identifying information about
you that could be used in fraudulent activities.
CMPTR Chapter 6: Network and Internet Security and Privacy 18
19. Theft of Data, Information, and
Other Resources
• Data theft or information theft is the theft of data or
information located on or being sent from a computer.
• It can be committed by stealing an actual computer, or it can
take place over the Internet or a network by an individual
gaining unauthorized access to that data by hacking into the
computer or by intercepting the data in transit.
CMPTR Chapter 6: Network and Internet Security and Privacy 19
20. Identity Theft, Phishing, and
Pharming
• Identity theft occurs when someone obtains enough
information about a person to be able to masquerade as that
person—usually to buy products or services in that person’s
name.
CMPTR Chapter 6: Network and Internet Security and Privacy 20
21. Identity Theft, Phishing, and
Pharming
• Phishing is the use of a spoofed email message to trick the
recipient into revealing sensitive personal information, such
as credit card numbers.
• More targeted, personalized phishing schemes are known as
spear phishing.
• Pharming is another type of scam that uses spoofed domain
names to obtain
personal information for
use in fraudulent
activities.
CMPTR Chapter 6: Network and Internet Security and Privacy 21
22. Identity Theft, Phishing, and
Pharming
CMPTR Chapter 6: Network and Internet Security and Privacy 22
23. Protecting Against Identity Theft
• In addition to disclosing personal information only when it is
necessary and only via secure Web pages, you should use
security software and keep it up to date.
• To avoid phishing schemes, never click a link in an email
message to go to a secure Web site—always type the URL for
that site in your browser.
• To prevent identity theft, protect your Social Security number
and give it out only when necessary.
CMPTR Chapter 6: Network and Internet Security and Privacy 23
25. Online Auction Fraud and Other
Internet Scams
• Online auction fraud (sometimes called Internet auction
fraud) occurs when an online auction buyer pays for
merchandise that is never delivered, or that is delivered but it
is not as represented.

• Although there are as yet no specific federal laws against
cyberstalking, all states have made it illegal, and some federal
laws do apply if the online actions include computer fraud or
another type of computer crime, suggest a threat of personal
injury, or involve sending obscene email messages.
CMPTR Chapter 6: Network and Internet Security and Privacy 27
28. Online Pornography
• A variety of controversial and potentially objectionable
material is available on the Internet. Although there have
been attempts to ban this type of material from the Internet,
they have not been successful.
• Because of the strong link experts believe exists between child
pornography and child molestation, many experts are very
concerned about the amount of child pornography that can
be found and distributed via the Internet.
CMPTR Chapter 6: Network and Internet Security and Privacy 28
29. Protecting Against Personal Safety
Concerns
• To protect yourself against cyberstalking and other types of
online harassment:
