Cybercrime involves using computers or networks to commit crimes. This document discusses several types of cybercrimes such as financial fraud, cyberterrorism, cyber extortion, cyber warfare, and using computers as targets. It provides examples of documented cybercrime cases and discusses efforts by governments and law enforcement to counter cybercrime. It also covers computer security and cybersecurity measures to protect systems from theft, damage, or service disruption.

2. Computer - Oriented Crime
Cybercrime, or computer-oriented crime, is a crime that involves a computer and a network.
The computer may have been used in the commission of a crime, or it may be the target.
Cybercrimes can be defined as: "Offences that are committed against individuals or groups of
individuals with a criminal motive to intentionally harm the reputation of the victim or cause
physical or mental harm, or loss, to the victim directly or indirectly, using modern
telecommunication networks such as Internet and mobile phones. Cybercrime may threaten a
person or a nation's security and financial health.Issues surrounding these types of crimes have
become high-profile, particularly those surrounding hacking.

4. Classifications of Cybercrime.
Computer crime encompasses a broad range of activities..
1. Financial fraud crimes
• Internet fraud is a type of fraud or deception which makes use
of the Internet and could involve hiding of information or
providing incorrect information for the purpose of tricking
victims out of money, property, and inheritance.
• According to the FBI's 2017 Internet Crime Report, the Internet
Crime Complaint Center (IC3) received about 300,000
complaints. Victims lost over $1.4 billion in online fraud in
2017. According to a study conducted by the Center for
Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) and McAfee,
cybercrime costs the global economy as much as $600 billion,
which translates into 0.8% of total global GDP.

2. Cyberterrorism.
• Cyberterrorism is the use of the Internet to conduct violent acts
that result in, or threaten, loss of life or significant bodily harm,
in order to achieve political or ideological gains
through threat or intimidation. It is also sometimes considered
an act of Internet terrorism where terrorist activities.
• Government officials and information technology security
specialists have documented a significant increase in Internet
problems and server scans since early 2001. There is a growing
concern among government agencies such as the Federal
Bureau of Investigations (FBI) and the Central Intelligence
Agency(CIA) that such intrusions are part of an organized effort
by cyberterrorists.

3. Cyber extortion.
• Cyber extortion occurs when a website, e-mail server, or
computer system is subjected to or threatened with repeated
denial of service or other attacks by malicious hackers. These
hackers demand money in return for promising to stop the
attacks and to offer "protection“.

4. Cyber warfare.
• Cyberwarfare is the use of technology to attack a nation,
causing comparable harm to actual warfare.‘Cyberwarfare’
does not imply scale, protraction or violence which are typically
associated with the term ‘war’.There is significant debate
among experts regarding the definition of cyberwarfare, and
even if such a thing exists.

7. Classifications of Cybercrime.
Computer crime encompasses a broad range of activities..
5. Computer as a target.
• These crimes are committed by a selected group of criminals.
Unlike crimes using the computer as a tool, these crimes
require the technical knowledge of the perpetrators. As such,
as technology evolves, so too does the nature of the crime.
These crimes are relatively new, having been in existence for
only as long as computers have—which explains how
unprepared society and the world, in general, is towards
combating these crimes. There are numerous crimes of this
nature committed daily on the internet. It is seldom committed
by loners, instead it involves large syndicate groups.
• Crimes that primarily target computer networks or devices
include:
• Computer viruses
• Denial-of-service attacks
• Malware (malicious code) 7

6. Drug trafficking.
• Darknet markets are used to buy and sell recreational
drugs online. Some drug traffickers use encrypted messaging
tools to communicate with drug mules. The dark web site Silk
Road was a major online marketplace for drugs before it was
shut down by law enforcement (then reopened under new
management, and then shut down by law enforcement again).
After Silk Road 2.0 went down, Silk Road 3 Reloaded emerged.
However, it was just an older marketplace named Diabolus
Market, that used the name for more exposure from the
brand's previous success.

9. Some Documented cases.
• One of the highest profiled banking computer crime occurred
during a course of three years beginning in 1970. The chief
teller at the Park Avenue branch of New York's Union Dime
Savings Bank embezzled over $1.5 million from hundreds of
accounts.
• A hacking group called MOD (Masters of Deception), allegedly
stole passwords and technical data from Pacific Bell, Nynex, and
other telephone companies as well as several big credit
agencies and two major universities. The damage caused was
extensive, one company, Southwestern Bell suffered losses of
$370,000.
• In 1983, a 19-year-old UCLA student used his PC to break into a
Defense Department International Communications system.
• In June 2012 LinkedIn and eHarmony were attacked,
compromising 65 million password hashes. 30,000 passwords
were cracked and 1.5 million EHarmony passwords were posted
online.

A report (sponsored by McAfee), published in 2014, estimated that the annual damage to the global economy was $445
billion. Approximately $1.5 billion was lost in 2012 to online credit and debit card fraud in the US.In 2018, a study by Center
for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS), in partnership with McAfee, concludes that close to $600 billion, nearly one
percent of global GDP, is lost to cybercrime each year.

10. The government doing to counter cybercrime.

• Countering cybercrime is a daunting challenge, not only because there
are so many cybercriminals but also because they are so technically
sophisticated.
• CYBERPOL The International Cyber Policing Organization Public
Utility was established in Belgium by Royal Decree WL22/16.595
together with 136 Countries on the 22 July 2015. The first
International Cyber Policing Summit took place on the 17 and 18
November 2015 attended by 110 officials and 8 ambassadors at the
Palais Des Congres te Brussels. CYBERPOL predicted Cyber Crime will
cost the global economy $1.2 Trillion by the end of 2019.

11. Computer security, cybersecurity or information
technology security (IT security).
• Computer security, cybersecurity or information technology
security (IT security) is the protection of computer systems from the
theft of or damage to their hardware, software, or electronic data,
as well as from the disruption or misdirection of the services they
provide.
• The field is becoming more important due to increased reliance on
computer systems, the Internet and wireless network standards
such as Bluetooth and Wi-Fi, and due to the growth of "smart"
devices, including smartphones, televisions, and the various devices
that constitute the "Internet of things". Owing to its complexity,
both in terms of politics and technology, cybersecurity is also one of
the major challenges in the contemporary world.
