Finally, it examines the need for separate cybercrime laws and defines cyber-exacerbated and cyber-assisted crimes.
Cyber crime involves using computers or the internet to commit illegal acts. There are three main types of cyber crimes: those against individuals, like cyber harassment; those against property, such as hacking to steal data from companies; and those against government, including terrorists using the internet to plan attacks. As more financial transactions move online, cyber crimes are increasing and pose a threat to both individuals and organizations. Effective prevention requires education about cyber security risks.
Spam has significantly impacted the world through its role in cybercrime and data breaches. It is used primarily to disseminate malware through malicious emails and is a huge vector for cybercrime. Spammers financially benefit through money, reputation, and in some cases their lives. They utilize botnets, which are networks of infected internet devices, to carry out distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks, send spam emails, and recruit more devices to expand their botnets. Antispam companies try to counter spammers but they are not always successful due to the evolving nature of spam and cybercrime.

ABSTRACT
As a coin has two sides , one which we can see directly and to see other we need
to flip the coin , our society also has got two sides. On one side there are people
who use the advancement in technology for good purpose and on the opposite
side there are people who misuse them.
From the early civilization period there is the existence of laws to guard
against crimes and criminals. And these laws were strictly maintained in order to
bring law and order in the society. And in this information age , a new variety of
crimes are evolving and these are known as CYBER CRIMEs.
Any illegal or unlawful activities committed by an individual or group of
people which is against and harmful to the society and its people or harmful to the
nation can be regarded as crime. And the person or group of people , who
committed such activities are regarded as Criminals.
Similarly crimes committed using Computer , Internet or a Network as a
subject or object of crime are generally known as Cyber Crime. And in this
Information age there are plenty of laws to tackle with these kind of cyber crimes.
So , the people of the society has to understand these laws and make use of these
laws to a good effect.

4. Cyber Crime & Security
1. INTRODUCTION
Like traditional crime, cybercrime can take many shapes and can occur nearly
anytime or anyplace. Criminals committing cybercrime use a number of methods,
depending on their skill-set and their goal. This should not be surprising:
cybercrime is, after all, simply 'crime' with some sort of 'computer' or 'cyber'
aspect. Cybercrime has surpassed illegal drug tracking as a criminal moneymaker.
Every 3 seconds an identity is stolen. Without security, your unprotected PC can
become infected within four minutes of connecting to the internet. The Council of
Europe's Cybercrime Treaty uses the term 'cybercrime' to refer to offenses ranging
from criminal activity against data to content and copyright infringement [Krone,
2005]. However, others [Zeviar-Geese, 1997-98] suggest that the definition is
broader, including activities such as fraud, unauthorized access, child
pornography, and cyberstalking. The United Nations Manual on the Prevention
and Control of Computer Related Crime includes fraud, forgery, and unauthorized
access [United Nations, 1995] in its cyber-crime definition.
As you can see from these definitions, cybercrime can cover a very wide range of
attacks. Understanding this wide variation in types of cybercrime is important as
different types of cybercrime require different approaches to improving your
computer safety.

5. Cyber Crime & Security
2. OVERVIEW OF THE TOPIC
2.1
DEFINITION – CYBER CRIME
Crime committed using a computer and the internet to steal a person's
identity or illegal imports or malicious programs.
Cybercrime is nothing but where the computer used as an object or subject
of crime. Most of these crimes are not new. Criminals simply devise di erent ways
to undertake standard criminal activities such as fraud , theft , blackmail and
forgery using the new medium , often involving the Internet .
2.2
CYBER WARE
The software tools used in cybercrime is sometimes referred to as crimeware.
Crimeware is software that is: used in the commission of the criminal act and not
generally regarded as a desirable software or hardware application.
However, it is important to remember that not all software used in the
commission of a computer-based or computer-facilitated crime can be de ned as
crimeware.
Crimeware does, however, include programs which may be classi ed as bots,
keystroke loggers, spyware, backdoors and Trojan horses.

6. Cyber Crime & Security
3. DETAILED EXPLANATION
Cyber crime is an evil having its origin in the dependence on computers in
modern life.
A simple yet sturdy definition of cyber crime would be unlawful acts wherein
the computer is either a tool or a target or both". Defining cyber crimes, as acts
that are punishable by the information Tech-nology Act" would be unsuitable as
the Indian Penal Code also covers many cyber crimes, such as e-mail spoofing,
cyber defamation, etc.
Cybercrime in a narrow sense (computer crime): Any illegal behavior directed
by means of electronic operations that targets the security of computer systems
and the data processed by them.
Cybercrime in a broader sense (computer-related crime): Any illegal behavior
committed by means of, or in relation to, a computer system or network, including
such crimes as illegal possession [and] offering or distributing information by
means of a computer system or network.
3.1
TYPES OF CYBER CRIME
Cyber Crime refers to all activities done with criminal intent in cyberspace. These
fall into three slots.
a) Those against persons.
b) Against Business and Non-business organizations.
c) Crime targeting the government.

7. Cyber Crime & Security
3.2
CRIME WARE
The software tools used in cybercrime is sometimes referred to as crime ware.
Crime ware is software that is: used in the commission of the criminal act and not
generally regarded as a desirable software or hardware application
However, it is important to remember that not all software used in the
commission of a computer-based or computer-facilitated crime can be defined as
crime ware. For example, while IM client may be used in the commission of a
cybercrime, the instant messaging application software itself is not considered
crime ware. FTP clients may be used in the commission of crimes; however, they
are not considered crime ware.
Crime ware does, however, include programs which may be classified as bots,
keystroke loggers, spyware, backdoors and Trojan horses.
3.3 CRIMEWARE - BOTNET
What's a Bot ?
"Bot" is actually short for robot - not the kind found in science fiction movies
or on the production line in a manufacturing business. Bots are one of the most
sophisticated types of crimeware facing the Internet today. Bots are similar to
worms and Trojans, but earn their unique name by performing a wide variety of
automated tasks on behalf of their master (the cybercriminals) who are often
safely located somewhere far across the Internet. Tasks that bots can perform run
the gamut from sending spam to blasting Web sites o the Internet as part of a
coordinated "denial-of-service" attack. Since a bot infected computer does the
bidding of its master, many people refer to these victim machines as "zombies."
7
8. Cyber Crime & Security
Bots sneak onto a person's computer in many ways. Bots oftentimes spread
themselves across the Internet by searching for vulnerable, unprotected computers to infect. When they find an exposed computer, they quickly infect the
machine and then report back to their master. Their goal is then to stay hidden
until they are awoken by their master to perform a task. Bots are so quiet that
sometimes the victims first learn of them when their Internet Ser-vice Provider
tells them that their computer has been spamming other Internet users. Sometimes
a bots will even clean up the infected machine to make sure it does not get
bumped o of the victim's computer by another cybercriminal's bot. Other ways in
which a bots infects a machine include being downloaded by a Trojan, installed
by a malicious Web site or being emailed directly to a person from an already
infected machine.
Bots do not work alone, but are part of a network of infected machines called
a "botnet." Botnets are created by attackers repeatedly infecting victim computers
using one or several of the techniques mentioned above. Each one of the zombie
machines is controlled by a master computer called the command and control
server. From the command and control server, the cybercriminals manage their
botnet and instructs the army of zombie computers to work on their behalf. A
botnet is typically composed of large number victim machines that stretch across
the globe, from the Far East to the United States. Some botnets might have a few
hundred or a couple thousand computers, but others have tens and even hundreds
of thousands of zombies at their disposal.

3.4
CRIMEWARE : TROJAN HORSE
What is a Trojan Horse?
This term "Trojan Horse" comes from a Greek fable, in which the Greeks
presented a giant wooden horse to the Trojans as a peace offering. However, a
nasty surprise awaited the Trojans as Greek soldiers sprung out of the hollow
horse and captured Troy. Similarly, a Trojan horse program presents itself as a
useful computer program, while it actually causes havoc and damage to your
computer.
Increasingly, Trojans are the 1st stage of an attack and their primary purpose
is to stay hidden while downloading and installing a stronger threat such as a bot.
Unlike viruses and worms, Trojan horses cannot spread by themselves. They are
often delivered to a victim through an email message where it masquerades as an
image or joke, or by a malicious website, which installs the Trojan horse on a
computer through vulnerabilities in web browser software such as Microsoft
Internet Explorer.
After it is installed, the Trojan horse lurks silently on the infected machine,
invisibly carrying out its misdeeds, such as downloading spyware, while the
victim continues on with their normal activities.
3.5 CRIMEWARE : SPYWARE
What is Spyware?
Spyware is a general term used for programs that covertly monitor your activity
on your computer, gathering personal information, such as usernames, passwords,
account numbers, les, and even driver's license or social security numbers. Some
spyware focuses on monitoring a person's Internet behavior; this type of spyware
often tracks the places you visit and things you do on the web, the emails you
write and receive, as well as your Instant Messaging (IM) conversations. After
gathering this information, the spyware then transmits that information to another
computer, usually for advertising purposes.
9
10. Cyber Crime & Security
Spyware is similar to a Trojan horse in that users unknowingly install the
product when they install something else. However, while this software is almost
always unwelcome, it can be used in some instances for monitoring in
conjunction with an investigation and in accordance with organizational policy.
Spyware is installed in many ways:
Most often spyware is installed unknowingly with some other software that you
intentionally install. For example, if you install a "free" music or le sharing
service or download a screensaver, it may also install spyware. Some Web pages
will attempt to install spyware when you visit their page.
A person who wants to monitor your online activities may also manually
install spyware. Depending on how this is done, this might be acceptable
surveillance of an individual or an unwelcome, even illegal, invasion of privacy.
Trojans and spyware are crimeware , two of the essential tools a cybercriminal
might use to obtain unauthorized access and steal information from a victim as
part of an attack. The creation and distribution of these programs is on the risethey are now 37% of all of the thousands of malware Symantec processes on a
weekly basis.
Trojans and spyware are developed by professionals. Trojans and spyware are
often created by professional crimeware authors who sell their software on the
black market for use in online fraud and other illegal activities.
3.6 ONLINE FRAUD : PHISHING
What is Phishing?
Phishing is essentially an online con game, and phisher’s are nothing more
than tech-savvy con artists and identity thieves. They use spam, fake Web sites,
crimeware and other techniques to trick people into divulging sensitive
information, such as bank and credit card account details. Once they've captured
enough victims' information, they either use the stolen goods themselves to
defraud the victims (e.g., by opening up new accounts using the victim's name or
draining the victim's bank a/c).
10
11. Cyber Crime & Security
In most cases, phishers send out a wave of spam email, sometimes up to
millions of messages. Each email contains a message that appears to come from a
well-known and trusted company. Usually the message includes the company's
logo and name, and it often tries to evoke an emotional response to a false crisis.
Couched in urgent, business-like language, the email often makes a request of the
user's personal information. Sometimes the email directs the recipient to a spoofed
Web site. The Web site, like the email, appears authentic and in some instances its
URL has been masked so the Web address looks real.
The bogus Web site urges the visitor to provide con dential information social security numbers, account numbers, passwords, etc. Since the email and
corresponding Web site seem legitimate, the phisher hopes at least a fraction of
recipients are fooled into submitting their data. While it is impossible to know the
actual victim response rates to all phishing attacks, it is commonly believed that
about 1 to 10 percent of recipients are duped with a "successful" phisher
campaign having a response rate around 5 percent. To put this in perspective,
spam campaigns typically have a less than 1 percent response rate.
Over 2005, phishers became much more sophisticated. They began using
crimeware in conjunction with their phony, hostile Web sites by leveraging
common Web browser vulnerabilities to infect victim machines. This trend means
that by simply following the link in a phishing email to a bogus Website, a user's
identity could be stolen as the phisher would no longer need to get you to enter
your personal information - the Trojan or spyware placed onto your machine
would capture this information the next time you visit the legitimate Web site of
your bank or other online service. Throughout the past year, this genre of
crimeware has become more targeted (capturing just the information the phisher
wants) and more silent, using rootkit and other aggressive stealth techniques to
remain hidden on an infected system.
11
12. Cyber Crime & Security
3.7 ONLINE FRAUD : PHARMING
What is Pharming?
Pharming (pronounced "farming") is another form of online fraud, very
similar to its cousin phishing. Pharmers rely upon the same bogus Web sites and
theft of confidential information to perpetrate online scams, but are more difficult
to detect in many ways because they are not reliant upon the victim accepting a
"bait" message. Instead of relying completely on users clicking on an enticing link
in fake email messages, pharming instead re-directs victims to the bogus Web site
even if they type the right Web address of their bank or other online service into
their Web browser.
Pharmers re-direct their victims using one of several ploys. The first method the one that earned pharming its name - is actually an old at-tack called DNS
cache poisoning. DNS cache poisoning is an attack on the Internet naming system
that allows users to enter in meaningful names for Web sites (www.mybank.com)
rather than a di cult to remember series of numbers (192.168.1.1). The naming
system relies upon DNS servers to handle the conversion of the letter-based Web
site names, which are easily recalled by people, into the machine-understandable
digits that whisk users to the Web site of their choice. When a pharmer mounts a
successful DNS cache poisoning attack, they are effectively changing the rules of
how traffic flows for an entire section of the Internet! The potential widespread
impact of pharmers routing a vast number of unsuspecting victims to a series of
bogus, hostile Web sites is how these fraudsters earned their namesake. Phishers
drop a couple lines in the water and wait to see who will take the bait. Pharmers
are more like cybercriminals harvesting the Internet at a scale larger than anything
seen before.
12
13. Cyber Crime & Security
Pharming example
One of the 1st known pharming attacks was conducted in early 2005. Instead
of taking advantage of a software aw, the attacker appears to have duped the
personnel at an Internet Service Provider into entering the transfer of location
from one place to another. Once the original address was moved to the new
address, the attacker had effectively "hijacked" the Web site and made the
genuine site impossible to reach, embarrassing the victim company and impacting
its business. A pharming attack that took place weeks after this incident had more
ominous consequences. Using a software aw as their foothold, pharmers swapped
out hundreds of legitimate domain names for those of hostile, bogus Web sites.
There were three waves of attacks, two of which attempted to load spyware and
adware onto victim machines and the third that appeared to be an attempt to drive
users to a Web site selling pills that are often sold through spam email.
4. KINDS OF CYBER ATTACKS
E-Mail bombing : Sending huge amounts of E-mails.
Salami attacks : These attacks are used for the commission of financial crimes.
Denial of Service: This involves flooding computer resources with more re-quests
than it can handle.
Sale of illegal articles : This would include sale of narcotics, weapons and wildlife
etc.
Cyber Pornography : This would include pornographic websites.
E-Mail spoofing : A spoofed email is one that appears to originate from one
source but actually has been sent from another source.
13
14. Cyber Crime & Security
5. BASIC PREVENTION TIPS
Cybercrime prevention can be straight-forward - when armed with a little
technical advice and common sense, many attacks can be avoided. In general,
online criminals are trying to make their money as quickly and easily as possible.
The more difficult you make their job, the more likely they are to leave you alone
and move on to an easier target. The tips below provide basic information on how
you can prevent online fraud.
5.1
Keep your computer current with the latest patches
and updates.
One of the best ways to keep attackers away from your computer is to apply
patches and other software axes when they become available. By regularly
updating your computer, you block attackers from being able to take advantage
of software laws (vulnerabilities) that they could otherwise use to break into your
system.
While keeping your computer up-to-date will not protect you from all at-tacks,
it makes it much more difficult for hackers to gain access to your system, blocks
many basic and automated attacks completely, and might be enough to discourage
a less-determined attacker to look for a more vulnerable computer elsewhere.
More recent versions of Microsoft Windows and other popular software can
be configured to download and apply updates automatically so that you do not
have to remember to check for the latest software. Taking advantage of "autoupdate" features in your software is a great start toward keeping yourself safe
online.
14
15. Cyber Crime & Security
5.2
Make sure your computer is configured securely
Keep in mind that a newly purchased computer may not have the right level of
security for you. When you are installing your computer at home, pay attention
not just to making your new system function, but also focus on making it work
securely.
Configuring popular Internet applications such as your Web browser and
email software is one of the most important areas to focus on. For example,
settings in your Web browser such as Internet Explorer or Firefox will deter-mine
what happens when you visit Web sites on the Internet-the strongest security
settings will give you the most control over what happens online but may also
frustrate some people with a large number of questions ("This may not be safe,
are you sure you want do this?") or the inability to do what they want to do.
Choosing the right level of security and privacy depends on the individual
using the computer. Oftentimes security and privacy settings can be properly
configured without any sort of special expertise by simply using the "Help"
feature of your software or reading the vendor's Web site. If you are
uncomfortable configuring it yourself consult someone you know and trust for
assistance or contact the vendor directly.
5.3
Choose strong passwords and keep them safe.
Passwords are a fact of life on the Internet today we use them for
everything from ordering products and online banking to logging into our favorite
airline Web site to see how many miles we have accumulated. The following tips
can help make your online experiences secure:
Selecting a password that cannot be easily guessed is the rst step toward
keeping passwords secure and away from the wrong hands. Strong passwords
have eight characters or more and use a combination of letters, numbers and
symbols (e.g., $ % ! ?).
15
16. Cyber Crime & Security
Keep your passwords in a safe place and try not to use the same password for
every service you use online.
Change passwords on a regular basis, at least every 90 days. This can limit
the damage caused by someone who has already gained access to your account. If
you notice something suspicious with one of your online accounts, one of the first
steps you can take is to change your password.

Protect your computer with security software
Several types of security software are necessary for basic online security. Security software essentials include firewall and antivirus programs. A firewall is
usually your computer's first line of defense-it controls who and what can
communicate with your computer online. You could think of a firewall as a sort
of "policeman" that watches all the data attempting to ow in and out of your
computer on the Internet, allowing communications that it knows are safe and
blocking "bad" extra c such as attacks from ever reaching your computer.
The next line of defense many times is your antivirus software, which monitors all online activities such as email messages and Web browsing and protects
an individual from viruses, worms, Trojan horse and other types of malicious programs. More recent versions of antivirus programs, such as Norton antivirus , also
protect from spyware and potentially unwanted programs such as adware. Having
security software that gives you control over software you may not want and
protects you from online threats is essential to staying safe on the Internet. Your
antivirus and antispyware software should be configured to update itself, and it
should do so every time you connect to the Internet.

6. LAWS AGAINST CYBER CRIMES
Cyberlaw is a much newer phenomenon having emerged much after the onset of
Internet. Internet grew in a completely unplanned and unregulated manner. Even
the inventors of Internet could not have really anticipated the scope and far
reaching consequences of cyberspace. The growth rate of cyberspace has been
enormous. Internet is growing rapidly and with the population of Internet
doubling roughly every 100 days, Cyberspace is becoming the new preferred
environment of the world. With the spontaneous and almost phenomenal growth
of cyberspace, new and ticklish issues relating to various legal aspects of
cyberspace began cropping up.
In response to the absolutely complex and newly emerging legal issues
relating to cyberspace, CYBERLAW or the law of Internet came into being. The
growth of Cyberspace has resulted in the development of a new and highly
specialised branch of law called CYBERLAWS- LAWS OF THE INTERNET
AND THE WORLD WIDE WEB.
Cyberlaw is a generic term which refers to all the legal and regulatory aspects
of Internet and the World Wide Web. Anything concerned with or related to or
emanating from any legal aspects or issues concerning any activity of netizens in
and concerning Cyberspace comes within the ambit of Cyberlaw. Internet is
growing rapidly and with the population of Internet doubling roughly every 100
days, Cyberspace is becoming the new preferred environment of the world. With
