Cyber crime refers to any criminal acts involving computers and networks. This includes crimes like computer viruses, denial of service attacks, malware, cyberstalking, fraud, identity theft, information warfare, and phishing scams. Cyber crimes threaten national security and financial health, and can create international tensions. Experts recommend protecting yourself by regularly updating passwords, not sharing private information publicly, using two-factor authentication, and avoiding giving sensitive details to untrusted sites.
