4. Cyber Crime
• “Crimes are not to be measured by the issue of
events, but by the bad intensions of men.”
• “The greatest crimes do
not arise from a want of
feeling for others but from
an over sensibility for
ourselves and an
over indulgence in our own
desires.”

5. What is Cyber Crime ?
• Cyber Crime is a term used to broadly describe criminal activity in
which computers or computer networks are a tool, a target, or a
place of criminal activity and include everything from electronic
cracking to denial of service attacks. It is also used to include
traditional crimes in which computers or networks are used to
enable the illicit activity.
• Computer crime mainly consists of unauthorized access to computer
systems data alteration, data destruction, theft of intellectual
property.
• Cyber crime in the context of national security may involve hacking,
traditional espionage, or information warfare and related activities.

6. Unauthorized access: This occurs when a user/hacker
deliberately gets access into someone else’s network either
to monitor or data destruction purposes
Denial of service attack: It involves sending of
disproportionate demands or data to the victims server
beyond the limit that the server is capable to handle and
hence causes the server to crash
Virus, Worms and Trojan attacks: Viruses are basically
programs that are attached to a file which then gets
circulated to other files and gradually to other computers in
the network.
Worms unlike Viruses do not need a host for attachments
they make copies of themselves and do this repeatedly
hence eating up all the memory of the computer.
Trojans are unauthorized programs which functions from
inside what seems to be an authorized program, thereby
concealing what it is actually doing.
