WHAT IS CYBER CRIME ?

online activities are vulnerable to crime and can compromise personal safety as effectively as everyday crimes.
cyber crimes can involve criminal activities that are traditional in nature, such as theft, fraud,forgery,defamation and mischief, all of which are subjected to the indian penal code.The only difference between a normal crime and a cyber crime lies in the tools used to commit the crime.
Cyber crimes can be broadly classified into two categories:

  • The Computer as a Target i.e., using a computer to attack other computers. E.g., Hacking, Virus/Worm attacks, DOS attack etc.
  • The Computer as a weapon i.e., using a computer to commit real world crimes. E.g., cyber terrorism, IPR violations, Credit card frauds, EFT frauds, Pornography etc.
