Cyber CrimeAs Internet usage is growing daily the world is coming.pdfvichu19891
Cyber Crime:
As Internet usage is growing daily the world is coming closer. The World Wide Web sounds like
a vast phenomenon but surprisingly one of its qualities is bringing the world closer making it a
smaller place to live in for its users. However, it has also managed to create another problem for
people who spend long hours browsing the Cyber World – which is cyber crimes. While law
enforcement agencies are trying to tackle this problem, it is growing steadily and many people
have become victims of hacking, theft, identity theft and malicious software. One of the best
ways to avoid being a victim of cyber crimes and protecting your sensitive information is by
making use of impenetrable security that uses a unified system of software and hardware to
authenticate any information that is sent or accessed over the Internet. However, before you can
understand more about this system, let us find out more about cyber crimes.
Types of Cyber Crimes:
When any crime is committed over the Internet it is referred to as a cyber crime. There are many
types of cyber crimes and the most common ones are explained below:
1.Hacking: This is a type of crime wherein a person’s computer is broken into so that his
personal or sensitive information can be accessed. In the United States, hacking is classified as a
felony and punishable as such. This is different from ethical hacking, which many organizations
use to check their Internet security protection. In hacking, the criminal uses a variety of software
to enter a person’s computer and the person may not be aware that his computer is being
accessed from a remote location.
2.Theft: This crime occurs when a person violates copyrights and downloads music, movies,
games and software. There are even peer sharing websites which encourage software piracy and
many of these websites are now being targeted by the FBI. Today, the justice system is
addressing this cyber crime and there are laws that prevent people from illegal downloading.
3.Cyber Stalking: This is a kind of online harassment wherein the victim is subjected to a barrage
of online messages and emails. Typically, these stalkers know their victims and instead of
resorting to offline stalking, they use the Internet to stalk. However, if they notice that cyber
stalking is not having the desired effect, they begin offline stalking along with cyber stalking to
make the victims’ lives more miserable.
4.Identity Theft: This has become a major problem with people using the Internet for cash
transactions and banking services. In this cyber crime, a criminal accesses data about a person’s
bank account, credit cards, Social Security, debit card and other sensitive information to siphon
money or to buy things online in the victim’s name. It can result in major financial losses for the
victim and even spoil the victim’s credit history.

Cyberterrorism involves using computer systems to disrupt or shut down critical national infrastructures like transportation and government operations. As countries rely more on computer systems, new vulnerabilities have emerged. Cyberterrorism is an attractive option for modern terrorists as it allows for large scale harm, psychological impact, and media attention while maintaining secrecy. While experts warn of possible cyber attacks crippling infrastructure systems, to date no confirmed acts of genuine cyberterrorism have occurred. National security and the IT industry are working to address this threat.

A review on techniques and modelling methodologies used for checking electrom...nooriasukmaningtyas
The proper function of the integrated circuit (IC) in an inhibiting electromagnetic environment has always been a serious concern throughout the decades of revolution in the world of electronics, from disjunct devices to today’s integrated circuit technology, where billions of transistors are combined on a single chip. The automotive industry and smart vehicles in particular, are confronting design issues such as being prone to electromagnetic interference (EMI). Electronic control devices calculate incorrect outputs because of EMI and sensors give misleading values which can prove fatal in case of automotives. In this paper, the authors have non exhaustively tried to review research work concerned with the investigation of EMI in ICs and prediction of this EMI using various modelling methodologies and measurement setups.

Embedded machine learning-based road conditions and driving behavior monitoringIJECEIAES
Car accident rates have increased in recent years, resulting in losses in human lives, properties, and other financial costs. An embedded machine learning-based system is developed to address this critical issue. The system can monitor road conditions, detect driving patterns, and identify aggressive driving behaviors. The system is based on neural networks trained on a comprehensive dataset of driving events, driving styles, and road conditions. The system effectively detects potential risks and helps mitigate the frequency and impact of accidents. The primary goal is to ensure the safety of drivers and vehicles. Collecting data involved gathering information on three key road events: normal street and normal drive, speed bumps, circular yellow speed bumps, and three aggressive driving actions: sudden start, sudden stop, and sudden entry. The gathered data is processed and analyzed using a machine learning system designed for limited power and memory devices. The developed system resulted in 91.9% accuracy, 93.6% precision, and 92% recall. The achieved inference time on an Arduino Nano 33 BLE Sense with a 32-bit CPU running at 64 MHz is 34 ms and requires 2.6 kB peak RAM and 139.9 kB program flash memory, making it suitable for resource-constrained embedded systems.
Advanced control scheme of doubly fed induction generator for wind turbine us...IJECEIAES
This paper describes a speed control device for generating electrical energy on an electricity network based on the doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) used for wind power conversion systems. At first, a double-fed induction generator model was constructed. A control law is formulated to govern the flow of energy between the stator of a DFIG and the energy network using three types of controllers: proportional integral (PI), sliding mode controller (SMC) and second order sliding mode controller (SOSMC). Their different results in terms of power reference tracking, reaction to unexpected speed fluctuations, sensitivity to perturbations, and resilience against machine parameter alterations are compared. MATLAB/Simulink was used to conduct the simulations for the preceding study. Multiple simulations have shown very satisfying results, and the investigations demonstrate the efficacy and power-enhancing capabilities of the suggested control system.

Comparative analysis between traditional aquaponics and reconstructed aquapon...bijceesjournal
The aquaponic system of planting is a method that does not require soil usage. It is a method that only needs water, fish, lava rocks (a substitute for soil), and plants. Aquaponic systems are sustainable and environmentally friendly. Its use not only helps to plant in small spaces but also helps reduce artificial chemical use and minimizes excess water use, as aquaponics consumes 90% less water than soil-based gardening. The study applied a descriptive and experimental design to assess and compare conventional and reconstructed aquaponic methods for reproducing tomatoes. The researchers created an observation checklist to determine the significant factors of the study. The study aims to determine the significant difference between traditional aquaponics and reconstructed aquaponics systems propagating tomatoes in terms of height, weight, girth, and number of fruits. The reconstructed aquaponics system’s higher growth yield results in a much more nourished crop than the traditional aquaponics system. It is superior in its number of fruits, height, weight, and girth measurement. Moreover, the reconstructed aquaponics system is proven to eliminate all the hindrances present in the traditional aquaponics system, which are overcrowding of fish, algae growth, pest problems, contaminated water, and dead fish.

Abstract
The Computers have unleashed an era of enhanced productivity and creativity. Communication and
connectedness has seen new heights in the last two decades. Internet has ushered a new revolution, The
Online Revolution. As more and more people are shifting their day to day activities online, more and
more people are targeting the easy-to-make money and information. These are the contemporary
criminals, enjoying the anonymity provided by the Internet and numerous tools to gain entry into almost
any system, taking advantage of human error and system vulnerabilities. These are the Cyber Criminals,
the ill-motivated hackers, crackers and spammers.
In this report, an attempt has been made to see Cyber Crime in a broad Spectrum, starting from scratch.
Reports & Investigations from World’s incorporated.
Without delving too much into the actual means of exploitation, an attempt to visualise the entire process
as whole, has been made.

What is Cyber Crime
We often hear the term ‘cybercrime it's a bigger risk now than ever before due to the sheer number of
connected people and devices. But what is it exactly?
In a nutshell, it is simply a crime that has some kind of computer or cyber (computer/computer networks
from word cybernetics) aspect to it. To go into more detail is not as straightforward, as it takes shape in
a variety of different formats. Cyber crime encompasses any criminal act dealing with computers and
networks. Additionally, cyber crime also includes traditional crimes conducted through the Internet.
According to Interpol, Cybercrime is one of the fastest growing areas of crime. More and more criminals
are exploiting the speed, convenience and anonymity that modern technologies offer in order to commit
a diverse range of criminal activities.
These include attacks against computer data and systems such as Denial of Service Attacks, identity
theft, the distribution of child sexual abuse images, internet auction fraud, the penetration of online
financial services, as well as the deployment of viruses, Botnets, and various email scams such as
phishing.
Categorically ..
Cyber crimes are broadly categorized into three categories, namely crimes against:
1. Individual
2. Property
3. Government
Each category can use a variety of methods and the methods used vary from one criminal to another.
Individual: This type of cyber crime can be in the form of hacking, identity theft, cyber bullying,
cyber stalking, distributing pornography, trafficking and “grooming”. T taking this category of cyber
crime very seriously and are joining forces internationally to reach and arrest the perpetrators.
Property: Just like in the real world where a criminal can steal and rob, even in the cyber world
criminals resort to stealing and robbing.
In this case, they can steal money; misuse the credit card to make numerous purchases online; run a
scam to get naïve people to part with their hard earned money; use malicious software to gai disrupt the
systems of the organization. The malicious software can also damage software and hardware, just like
vandals damage property in the offline world.
6. P a g e 5 | 18
Government: Although not as common as the other two categories, crimes against a government are
referred to as cyber terrorism. If successful, this category can wreak havoc and cause panic amongst the
civilian population. In this category, criminals hack government websites, military websites or circulate
propaganda. The perpetrators can be terrorist outfits or unfriendly governments of other nations.
Cyber Crime : The Polymorphic One
Cyber Crime may take many forms. The most common ones are explained below:
Hacking: This is a type of crime w broken into so that his personal or sensitive information can be
accessed. This is different from ethical hacking, which many organizations use to check their Internet
security protection. In hacking, the criminal uses a computer and the person may not be aware that his
computer is being accessed from a remote location.
Theft: This crime occurs when a person violates copyrights and downloads music, movies, games and
software. There are even peer sharing websites which encourage software piracy and many of these
websites are now being targeted by the FBI. Today, the justice system is addressing this cyber crime
and there are laws that prevent people from illegal downloading.
Cyber Stalking: This is a kind of online harassment wherein the victim is subjected to a barrage of
online messages and emails. Typically, these stalkers know their victims and instead of resorting to
offline stalking, they use the Internet to stalk. However, if they notice that cyber stalking is not having
the desired effect, they begin offline stalking along with cyber sta miserable.
Malicious Software: These are Internet-based software or programs that are used to disrupt a
network. The software is used to gain access to a system to steal sensitive information or data or causing
damage to software present in the system.
Identity Theft: This has become a major problem with people using the Internet for cash transactions
and banking services. In this cyber crime, a criminal accesses da cards, Social Security, debit card and
other sensitive information to siphon money or to buy things result in major financial losses for the
victim and even spoil the victim’s . credit history
Child soliciting and Abuse: This is also a type of cyber crime wherein criminals solicit minors
via chat rooms for the purpose of child pornography. The FBI has been spending a lot of time monitoring
chat rooms frequented by children with the hopes of reducing and preventing child abuse and soliciting.
Cyber-Terrorism: Cyber-terrorism is distinguished from other acts of commercial crime or
7. P a g e 6 | 18
incidents of hacking by its severity. Attacks against computer networks or the information stored therein
which result in "violence against persons or property, or at least cause enough harm to generate fear"
are to be considered cyber-terrorism attacks according to congressional testimony from Georgetown
University professor Dorothy Denning. "Attacks that disrupt nonessential services or that are mainly a
costly nuisance" are not classified as cyber-terrorist attacks by her definition.
DoS: Short for denial-of-service attack, a type of attack on a network that is designed to bring the
network to its knees by flooding it with useless traffic. Many DoS attacks, such as the Ping of Death
and Teardrop attacks, exploit limitations in the TCP/IP protocols.
Is It Worth All The Commotion
Before we delve deeper into tits even worth the effort!
In the present decade, this term has gathered a large amount of attention and hype, and people fear these shadowy
group of new brand of criminals for all so facts and figure
The "I love you" worm (named after the subject line of the email it came in) proved irresistible in 2000 as millions
of users opened the spam message and downloaded the attached 'love letter' file and a bitter virus.
This infamous worm cost companies and government agencies $15 billion to shut down their computers and
remove the infection.
Conficker's stealthy destruction Estimated damage $9.1 billion
This 2007 worm infected millions of computers and then took its infections further than the last two worms on
our list, as cybercrooks moved from notoriety to professionalism.
Conficker was designed to download and install malware from sites controlled by the virus writers.
MyDoom's Mass Infection Estimated damage: $38 billion
This fast-moving worm first struck in 2004 and tops McAfee's list in terms of monetary damage.
Due to all the spam it sent, it slowed down global Internet access by 10 per cent and reduced access to some
websites by 50 per cent, causing billions in dollars of lost productivity and online sales.
Once upondistributedatime,denialofservice“ attacks” were way for quarreling hackers to knock each other out
of IRC. Then one day in February 2000, a 15-year-old Canadian named Michael “MafiaBoy”Calce
experimentally programmed his botnet to hose down the highest traffic websites he could find. CNN, Yahoo,
Amazon, eBay, Dell and eTrade all buckled under the deluge, leading to national headlines and an emergency
meeting of security experts at the White House.
In 2003, fear came in 376 bytes. The lightning-fast Slammer worm targeted a hole in Microsoft’ months after a
fix was released, the malware cracked an estimated 75,000 unpatched servers in the space of hours. Bank of
America and Washington Mutual ATM networks ground to a halt. Continental Airlines delayed and canceled
flights when its ticketing system got gummed up. Seattle lost its emergency 911 network, and a nuclear power
plant in Ohio lost a safety monitoring system.“Operation Get Rich or Die Tryin’ For”nearly. four years ending in
2008, 28-year-old Albert Segvec ”Gonzalez“ and America and Russia staged the biggest data thefts in history,
stealing credit and debit card magstripe data for sale on the black market.
Using Wi-Fi hacking and SQL injection, the gang popped companies like 7-Eleven, Dave & Buster’s, O processor
Heartland Payment Systems, which alone gave up 130 million cards.
8. P a g e 7 | 18
These are just a few instances of Cyber Crimes, which caused mass losses, and troubles. Millions more are
happening everyday, every second, against individuals and organisations alike by individuals and organisations
alike!
Who are the Cyber Criminals
When we speak about cybercrimes, such as phishing and malware attacks, we tend to lump cybercriminals into
one category and operate under an assumption that they are all motivated to steal credentials that lead to some
sort of financial theft. While those types of crimes do occur, it is important to distinguish between the different
types of cybercriminals.
Here are the basic types of cybercriminals in operation today:
Nation-states: Most notably, China, Iran, other nation-states looking to steal and infiltrate data.
Hacktivists: Activists or groups (like WikiLeaks) seeking to steal data and release it publicly. This category
also includes Script kiddies, and enthusiasts messing around status quo and having fun.
Professional Cybercriminals: This group (led by technologists turned cybercriminal) does the most
damage, particularly to financial institutions, retailers, e-commerce businesses, governments, etc. This group of
cybercriminals actually creates more fraud, remediation and reputational damage than the other types of
cybercriminals combined.
The Cybercrime Ecosystem: Resources, Motivations and Methods
Long gone are the days when cybercrime was tantamount to teenage miscreants causing mischief i commercial
enterprise, cybercrime has evolved into a complex, highly organized hierarchy involving leaders, engineers,
infantry, and hired money mules. Looking from the cybercrime organizations from any other business.
Like any legitimate commercial enterprise, each player has a designated role or function to perform. And each
job is necessary in order to create the desired good that turns the wheels of the machine. The mission? Like an
some cases, retribution.
The fundamental laws of economics apply here as well. The deliverables run the range from consulting, services,
and advertising to a myriad of programs that features and/or more complex the service offered, the higher the
price.
9. P a g e 8 | 18
According to the Fortinet’s2013cybercrime report, an interesting study on cybercriminal ecosystem, identifying
the operations, the motivations, the methods, the resource used and countermeasure adoptable to mitigate the
cyber threats are identified.
As demonstrated by various researchers conducted by principal security firm’s cybercrime in businesses working
in a global industry. What is very concerning is the capabilities of criminal organizations to quickly react to new
business opportunities demonstrating a high level of motivation, very common is the habit to recruit skilled
professionals or rent specialist services to arrange illegal activities.
Criminal organizations have different motivations for their operations, they could adopt a direct method of
monetization earning with frauds and illegal activities such as cyber espionage or estorsions, or they can decide
to monetize the providing of illegal services such as the renting of botnets or customization of malicious code.
Cybercrime has no specific Geo localization, it operates on a global scale in the cyber space exploiting different
law framework adopted by various governments that make cybercrime relatively risk free compared with
traditional crimes.
In too many countries cyber laws are very poor, the level of enforcement is low exactly such as monitoring of
criminal ecosystem, this advantages the growth cybercriminals organizations.
Cybercrime often goes unpunished ,it is very profitable and contrary to what we can think the providing of
criminal services in the model dubbed Crime-as-a-Service allows also to ordinary crime without technological
background business”.
Being a cybercriminal allows to gain handsome profits especially in countries where per capita income is
extremely low. Cybercrime pays, it’s very common to fi specialists (e.g. botmaster, malware engineers) promising
amount of money between $2,000 and $5,000 a month.
This amount of money is very attractive if we consider the monthly earns for these categories of professionals
located in Eastern Europe, especially in countries such as Russia and Moldova.

How Cyber Criminals Attack
All these forms of Cyber Crime are due to one or more kind of Attacks by the Cyber Criminals or the Hacktivist
in question.
Classes of attack might include passive monitoring of communications, active network attacks, close-in attacks,
exploitation by insiders, and attacks through the service provider. Information systems and networks offer
attractive targets and should be resistant to attack from the full range of threat agents, from hackers to nation-
states. A system must be able to limit damage and recover rapidly when attacks occur.
There are five types of attacks, which are most common:
Passive Attack: A passive attack monitors unencrypted traffic and looks for clear-text passwords and sensitive
information that can be used in other types of attacks. Passive attacks include traffic analysis, monitoring of
unprotected communications, decrypting weakly encrypted traffic, and capturing authentication information such
as passwords. Passive interception of network operations enables adversaries to see upcoming actions. Passive
attacks result in the disclosure of information or data files to an attacker without the consent or knowledge of the
user.
Active Attack: In an active attack, the attacker tries to bypass or break into secured systems. This can be done
through stealth, viruses, worms, or Trojan horses. Active attacks include attempts to circumvent or break
protection features, to introduce malicious code, and to steal or modify information.
These attacks are mounted against a network backbone, exploit information in transit, electronically penetrate
an enclave, or attack an authorized remote user during an attempt to connect to an enclave. Active attacks result
in the disclosure or dissemination of data files, DoS, or modification of data.
Distributed Attack: A distributed attack requires that the adversary introduce code, such as a Trojan horse
or back-door program, to component or software that will later be distributed to many other companies and users
Distribution attacks focus on the malicious modification of hardware or software at the factory or during
distribution. These attacks introduce malicious code such as a back door to a product to gain unauthorized access
to information or to a system function at a later date.
Insider Attack: An insider attack involves someone from the inside, such as a disgruntled employee, attacking
the network Insider attacks can be malicious or no malicious. Malicious insiders intentionally eavesdrop, steal,
or damage information; use information in a fraudulent manner; or deny access to other authorized users. No
malicious attacks typically result from carelessness, lack of knowledge, or intentional circumvention of security
for such reasons as performing a task.
Close-in Attack: A close-in attack involves someone attempting to get physically close to network
components, data, and systems in order to learn more about a network Close-in attacks consist of regular
individuals attaining close physical proximity to networks, systems, or facilities for the purpose of modifying,
gathering, or denying access to information.
Close physical proximity is achieved through surreptitious entry into the network, open access, or both. One
popular form of close in attack is social engineering in a social engineering attack, the attacker compromises the
network or system through social interaction with a person, through an e-mail message or phone. Various tricks
can be used by the individual to revealing information about the security of company. The information that the
victim reveals to the hacker would most likely be used in a subsequent attack to gain unauthorized access to a
system or network.

Phishing Attack: In phishing attack the hacker creates a fake web site that looks exactly like a popular site
such as the SBI bank or paypal. The phishing part of the attack is that the hacker then sends an e-mail message
trying to trick the user into clicking a link that leads to the fake site. When the user attempts to log on with their
account information, the hacker records the username and password and then tries that information on the real
site.
Hijack attack: Hijack attack in a hijack attack, a hacker takes over a session between you and another
individual and disconnects the other individual from the communication. You still believe that you are talking to
the original party and may send private information to the hacker by accident.
Password attack: An attacker tries to crack the passwords stored in a network account database or a password-
protected file. There are three major types of password attacks: a dictionary attack, a brute-force attack, and a
hybrid attack. A dictionary attack uses a word list file, which is a list of potential passwords. A brute-force attack
is when the attacker tries every possible combination of characters.
Buffer overflow: Buffer overflow a buffer overflow attack is when the attacker sends more data to an
application than is expected. A buffer overflow attack usually results in the attacker gaining administrative access
to the system in a Command prompt or shell.
Spoof attack: Spoof attack in a spoof attack, the hacker modifies the source address of the packets he or she
is sending so that they appear to be coming from someone else. This may be an attempt to bypass your firewall
rules.
Current Scenario
Recent studies published on the evolution of principal cyber threats in the security landscape. They present
concerning scenarios, characterized by the constant growth of cyber criminal activities.
Even though the level of awareness of cyber threats has increased, and law enforcement acts globally to combat
them, illegal profits have reached amazing figures. The impact to society has become unsustainable, considering
the global economic crisis.
It’s necessary to work together community suffers, which we can no longer sustain. The risk of business collapse
is concrete, due to the high cost for enterprises in mitigating counter measures, and the damage caused by
countless attacks.
Principal security firms which observe and analyze the incidents occurred to their clients have provided estimates
of the annual loss suffered by enterprises. Dozens of billion dollars tare eroding their profits. If we extend the
effects of cybercrime to government circles, public industry and assume that the amount of damage reaches
several hundred billion dollars.
In many cases, that estimate there were still too many companies that fail to quantify the losses related to
cybercrime. In some cases, they totally ignore that they’re victims of attacks. survey, and loss estimates are based
on raw assumptions about the magnitude and effect of cyber attacks to provide an economic evaluation.
Cyber criminal activities are increasing by incidence in a scenario made worse by the economic crisis. We also
face tightened spending by the private sector, and reduced financial liquidity.
Nearly 80% of cybercrime acts are estimated to originate in some form of organized activity. The diffusion of the
model of fraud-as-service and the diversification of the offerings of the underground market is also attracting new
actors with modest skills. Cybercrime is becoming a business opportunity open to everybody driven by profit and
personal gain.

According to experts at RSA security, cybercrime continues to improve its techniques and the way it organizes
and targets victims. The RSA Anti-Fraud Command Center (AFCC) has developed the following list of the top
cybercrime trends it expects to see evolve:
1. As the world goes mobile, cybercrime will follow
2. The privatization of banking, trojans and other malware
3. Hacktivism and the ever-targeted enterprise
4. Account takeover and increased use of manually-assisted cyber attacks
5. Cybercriminals will leverage Big Data principles to increase the effectiveness of attacks
Cybercrime activities are globally diffused, financially-driven acts. Such computer-related fraud is prevalent, and
makes up around one third of acts around the world.
Another conspicuous portion of cybercrime acts are represented by computer content, including child
pornography, content related to terrorism offenses, and piracy. Another significant portion of crime relates to acts
against confidentiality, integrity and accessibility of computer systems.
That includes illegal access to a computer system, which accounts for another one third of all acts.
It’s clear that cyber crime pressure and efficiency of local law enforcement.

Cyber Crime Statistics
A study, titled The 2013 Cost of Cyber Crime Study, conducted by Ponemon Institute, provides an estimation of
the economic impact of cybercrime. It’s sponsor it reveals that the cost of cybercrime in 2013 escalated 78
percent, while the time necessary to resolve problems has increased by nearly 130 percent in four years.
Meanwhile, the average cost to resolve a single attack totalled more than $1 million.
Key findings include:
The average annualized cost of cybercrime incurred per organization was $11.56 million, with a range of
$1.3 million to $58 million. This is an increase of 26 percent, or $2.6 million, over the average cost
reported in 2012.
Organizations in defense, financial services and energy and utilities suffered the highest cybercrime costs.
Data theft caused major costs, 43 percent of the total external costs, business disruption or lost productivity
accounts for 36% of external costs. While the data theft decreased by 2% in the last year, business
disruption increased by 18%.
Organizations experienced an average of 122 successful attacks per week, up from 102 attacks per week
in 2012.
The average time to resolve a cyber attack was 32 days, with an average cost incurred during this period
of $1,035,769, or $32,469 per day—a 55 percent increase ov cost of $591,780 for a 24-day period.
Denial-of-service, web-based attacks and insiders account for more than 55% of overall annual
cybercrime costs per organization. Smaller organizations incur a significantly higher per-capita cost than
larger organizations.
Recovery and detection are the most costly internal activities.
Symantec experts have also analyzed the incidence of cybercrime in different countries around the world.
The 2013 Norton Report states that the lack of efficient authentication mechanisms and defense
mechanisms is the primary cause of incidents for mobile precautions and a third were victims of illegal
activities last year.
What’s very concerning is tha regarding cyber threats, only a small portion of mobile users (26%) have
installed security softw of security solutions for mobile environments. These numbers explain why mobile
technology is so attractive for cyber crime. In the majority of cases, the systems are totally exposed to
cyber threats due to bad habits and risky behavior.
Great interest is dedicated to cloud computing, and in particular to cloud storage solutions that make it
easy to archive and share files. 24% of users use the same cloud storage account for personal and work
activities. 18% share their collection of documents with their friends. Once again, bad habits facillitate
cyber crime. Cloud services bundle a multitude of data se attractive targets for hackers.
Indian Laws & Cyber Crime
The Indian Law has not given any definition In fact, the Indian Penal Code does not use the term ‘cybe any point
even after its amendment by the Information Technology (amendment) Act 2008, the Indian Cyber law.
Security”definedunderisSection (2) (b) means protecting information, equipment, devices computer, computer
resource, communication device and information stored therein from unauthorized access. In essence, cyber law
is an attempt to apply laws designed for the physical world, to human activity on the Internet. In India, The IT
Act, 2000 as amended by The IT (Amendment) Act, 2008 is known as the Cyber law. It has a separate chapter
XIOffentitces which various cyber crimes have been declared as penal offences punishable with imprisonment
and fine.
Let us look into some common cyber-crime scenarios which can attract prosecution as per the penalties and
offences prescribed in IT Act 2000 (amended via 2008) Act.

Cyber Crime Prevention Tips
Use Strong Passwords
Use different user ID / password combinations for different accounts and avoid writing them down. Make the
passwords more complicated by combining letters, numbers, special characters (minimum 10 characters in total)
and change them on a regular basis.
Secure your computer
Activate your firewall: Firewalls are the first line of cyber defence; they block connections to unknown or
bogus sites and will keep out some types of viruses and hackers.
Use anti-virus/malware software: Prevent viruses from infecting your computer by installing and regularly
updating anti-virus software.
Block spyware attacks: Prevent spyware from infiltrating your computer by installing and updating anti-
spyware software.
Secure your Mobile Devices
Be aware that your mobile device is vulnerable to viruses and hackers. Download applications from trusted
sources.

Install the latest operating system updates
Keep your applications and operating system (e.g. Windows, Mac, Linux) current with the latest system updates.
Turn on automatic updates to prevent potential attacks on older software.
Protect your Data
Use encryption for your most sensitive files such as tax returns or financial records, make regular back-ups of all
your important data, and store it in another location.
Secure your wireless network
Wi-Fi (wireless) networks at home are vulnerable to intrusion if they are not properly secured. Review and modify
default settings. Stop using Public Wi-Fi, a.k.a. “Hot Spots”. Use VPNs.
Avoid conducting financial or corporate transactions on these networks.
Protect your e-identity
Be cautious when giving out personal information such as your name, address, phone number or financial
information on the Internet. Make sure that websites are secure (e.g. when making online purchases) or that
you’ve enable accessing/using social networking sites).
Avoid being scammed
Always think before you click feel pressured by any emails. Check the source of the message. When in doubt,
verify the source. Never reply to emails that ask you to verify your information or confirm your user ID or
password.
Review bank and credit card statements regularly
The impact of identity theft and online crimes can be greatly reduced if you can catch it shortly after your data is
stolen or when the first use of your information is attempted. One of the easiest ways to get the tip-off that
something has gone wrong is by reviewing the monthly statements provided by your bank and credit card
companies for anything out of the ordinary.
In an organisation, Education and awareness across the staff will go a long way to protect against many types of
cybercrime.

CONCLUSION
The issue of network and Internet security has become increasingly more important as more and more
business and people go on-line.
To avoid the information from hackers we use the passwords secretly and we change the passwords
regularly. We cannot use our names, initials as passwords that are easily traced.
We should not download any executable files from unknown sources, information from any sources
without checking for virus. We have to use licensed anti-virus software.
