Cyber crimes against property are common and involve damaging or stealing a person's or organization's property through digital means. This can include malware, ransomware, piracy, and other crimes intended to financially profit from illegal activities. The presentation discusses several types of cyber crimes against property such as cybersquatting, cyber trespassing, cyber vandalism, and intellectual property crimes. Examples are given for each type, including defacing websites, software sabotage, account hijacking, and copyright infringement. Prevention of cyber crimes against property requires awareness and security measures to protect digital assets and intellectual property.

2. FORMAT OF THE PRESENTATION
 Before going on the topic cyber crime against property we must know about cyber crime. How it emerged?
 Then its types. All the types of cyber crime.
 Then, we will move onto our main topic cyber crime against property.
 And then its type and prevention.

3. We are moving from the age of information technology to the age of information security as now we are
more concerned about how to secure our information; the reason is the rapid growth in the graph of cyber
crimes1 or computer crimes. New methods of connectivity and communications are being developed with
the time, and, so are the ways to misuse them. People had started to depend on the machines rather on
themselves thus computer databases have taken the place of manual records which need to saved and
secured and also should be available at the very time they are required. An E has been added to almost all
the major or basic things which we do in our daily life like E-banking, E-shopping, and E-governance 2 etc.
Governments are also taking initiative to start and regulate their works via electronic methods or internet.
Doing the work on internet is no doubt very convenient, easy and much better way to do but at the same
time it needs to be safe and secured. The only thing why people hesitate to do their work online is because
due to the lack of trust in the system. We now and then read the news on newspapers or televisions about
the frauds that take place on the internet or through the internet. It is easier to break into a database and
steal the information on a computer as compared to a thief going and stealing the manual records from an
office. Information or the data is the main asset of an organization which we need to make sure that its
confidentiality, integrity and availability should be maintained. That is why, now a days companies are
making its employees aware about the possible risks and threats of the minor incidents which can lead to
a big disaster or attacks on their systems.
THE STORY

4. WHAT IS CYBERCRIME
Cyber crimes are the crimes in which a computer is either used as a
tool or a target but the main point lies in the fact that what can be
described as a computer or what are the things which can fall under
the definition of a computer. In India the IT act defines the computer
in the definition clause which helps a lot in solving the cyber crimes.
Cybercrime is a type of crime involving a computer or a computer
network. The computer may have been used in committing the
crime, or it may be the target. Cybercrime may harm someone's
security or finances. Internationally, both state and non-state actors
engage in cybercrimes, including espionage, financial theft, and
other cross-border crimes. Cybercrimes crossing international
borders and involving the actions of at least one nation-state are
sometimes referred to as cyberwarfare. Warren Buffett describes
cybercrime as the "number one problem with mankind" and said
that it "poses real risks to humanity".

7. INTRODUCTION TO
CYBER CRIME AGAINST
PROPERTY

8. Cybercrime against property is probably the most common of the cybercrime classifications.
As the name suggests, this kind of crime involves cybercriminals targeting property, usually
money or other assets. Property cybercrime can be as serious as credit card theft or as
mundane as copyright infringement.
Most cyber criminals out there aren’t trying to attack you personally, but to take your money.
Even extreme measures like ransomware are just attempts to steal or extort cash from people
or businesses. That’s what makes cybercrimes against property so prevalent.
a
Though money is the most significant motivator for these crimes, it’s not the only one. This
classification of cybercrime includes other kinds of property as well, like stealing or destroying
intellectual property . Attacks that target your computer itself also fit into this category.
However, any online activity which basically offends human
sensibilities can be regarded as a cybercrime against property.

10. CYBER SQUATTING
Cybersquatting, typo squatting or domain squatting (also known as domain squatting) is the abusive
practice of registering and using an internet domain name that is identical or similar to trademarks, service
marks, personal names or company names with the bad faith intent of hijacking traffic for financial profit,
delivering malware payloads or stealing intellectual property. In popular terms, "cybersquatting" is the term
most frequently used to describe the deliberate, bad faith abusive registration of a domain name in
violation of trademark rights. However, precisely because of its popular currency, the term has different
meanings to different people. Some people, for example, include "warehousing", or the practice of
registering a collection of domain names corresponding to trademarks with the intention of selling the
registrations to the owners of the trademarks, within the notion of cybersquatting, while others distinguish
between the two terms. In the former definition, the cybersquatter may offer to sell the domain to the
person or company who owns a trademark contained within the name at an inflated price.
Similarly, some consider "cyberpiracy" to be interchangeable with "cybersquatting", whereas others
consider that the former term relates to violation of copyright in the content of websites, rather than to
abusive domain name registrations.
Because of the various interpretations of the term, World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), in a
1999 report, approved by its member states, considered it as the abusive registration of a domain name.

11. CYBER VANDALISM
Cyber vandalism is the deliberate, malicious destruction of digital property. It usually targets
websites and other tech products, but it can also be used to threaten individuals or
institutions. Cyber vandals use all sorts of tools to deface websites, delete files, take over
user accounts, or send spam and viruses.
Whereas traditional vandalism commonly involved the vandal leaving his or her mark for
everyone to see, cyber vandalism gives the perpetrator virtual anonymity by allowing them
to commit their crimes from anywhere at any time with relative impunity.
Cyber vandalism can generally be classified into three general types:
• Disruptive cyber vandalism: This type of cyber vandalism is designed to cause
interruption or interference with the normal functioning of a cyber property e.g. a
website.
• Destructive cyber vandalism: As the name suggests, this type of cyber vandalism is
intended to cause damage or destruction to a property.
• Defamatory cyber vandalism: This type of cyber vandalism involves posting false or
derogatory information about an individual or organization in an effort to damage their
reputation.

12. COMMON FORMS OF CYBER VANDALISM
Website
Defacement
Hackers maliciously
change content and design
of an existing website
without its owner’s
permission. It involves
altering web pages to
display upsetting, hateful
or otherwise distressing
messages, images, or
videos that flow entirely
against the owner’s
wishes. Such modifications
are typically achieved by
exploiting weaknesses in
the website's code.
Software
Sabotage
This involves deliberately
introducing bugs and viruses
into programs to disrupt
activity and can lead to
everything from data loss to
a complete wiping of the
source code of a program.
Software sabotage can also
involve the intentional
distribution of infected or
stolen software online which
can then be unknowingly
installed and used by
unsuspecting individuals,
leading to further
exploitation and damage.
Account
Hijacking
This is the act of taking over
someone else's account for
malicious purposes such as to
implant malware or post
obscene content.
Account hijackers exploit
weaknesses in computer
systems, networks, and online
security protocols for their
own benefit, often leaving the
victim with damaged
reputation or financial losses.
It is more common now than
ever with increasingly
sophisticated technology
available at anyone's
fingertips.
DNS Cache
Poisoning
DNS cache poisoning
corrupts the Domain Name
System (DNS) data stored
in the DNS server’s cache.
This vandalism allows
threat actors to manipulate
web traffic, as they can
redirect users to malicious
websites and illicit content.
Often, DNS cache
poisoning tricks users into
visiting false but
convincing websites that
are specially created by
hackers.

13. CYBER TRESPASSING
In common language the word 'trespass', means to go on another's property without consent. Though it is
ordinarily a civil wrong, if trespass is done with criminal intention, it is treated as criminal trespass. Thus, as
trespass actions are stranded in the idea of protecting an owner's control over his property and as even the
websites should be considered as a species of property. As like in the case of trespass, when just cracking is
there by the cracker, it is of a civil nature but once the intention to cause harm or rather damage the system is
proved, the liability becomes that of a penal nature. Now it is not just criminal trespass, which can be done by
cracking but cracking may also result in many other crimes which are mentioned in the Indian Penal Code,
1860. Like, if a cracker cracks a banking website and transfers money into his own account, this may constitute
a crime under Sec.378 of the Penal Code, which in this case may also be termed as Cyber Theft. The IT Act
tries to achieve this by providing civil and penal consequences for cracking and other wrongful activities. The
development of new-age technology in the form of computers and other such instruments is the cause of
rampant tort of cyber-trespass. The computer may be used as a tool in the following kinds of activity, e-mail
spoofing, forgery, cyber defamation, cyber stalking. It is necessarily the breach of personal information of a
person and his personal identity details, website databases etc. The computer may however be target for
unlawful acts in the most of the cases for e.g. unauthorized access to computer/ computer system/ computer
networks, theft of information contained in the electronic form, e-mail bombing, data didling, salami attacks, logic
bombs, Trojan attacks, internet time thefts, web jacking, theft of computer system, physically damaging the
computer system and other such confidential information.

14. INTELLECTUAL
PROPERTY CRIMES
Intellectual property crime is committed when
someone manufactures, sells or distributes counterfeit or
pirated goods, such as patents, trademarks, industrial
designs or literary and artistic works, for commercial
gain. Intellectual property (IP) crime also includes using a
particular brand, logo, design, piece of music or creative work
without the right to do so Intellectual property is protected by
trade marking, patents and copyright.
