7. Lottery Message Scams
8. Prevent Cybercrime
9. Cyber laws
10. National cyber security

Lottery Message Scams

In this type of scam where the sender requests to help in facilitating the transfer of a
substantial sum of money, generally in the form of an email. In return, the sender
offers a commision, usually in the range of several million dollars. The scammers

transfer. If money is sent to the scammers, they will either disappear immediately or
try to get more money with claims of continued prolems with transfer.

often involves manipulating people into breaking normal security procedure and
best practices to gain unautorized access to systems, networks or physical locations
for finacial gain, threat actors use social engineering techniques to conceal their true
identities and motives, presenting themselves as trusted individual or information
sources.

protection of computer systems and networks from information disclosure, theft, or
damage to their hardware, software or electronic data, as well as from the disrution

Hacking Information Security
Hacking is the activity of identifying weakness in a computer system or a network to
exploit the security to gain access to personal data or business data. Computers have
become mandatory to run a successful business. It is not enough to have isloated
computers systems, they need to be networked to facilatate communication with
external businesses. This exposes them to the outside world and hacking.

Physical Security
Physical security protects cybersecurity by limiting access to spaces where data is
stored, and the reverse is also true. Physical security components connected to the
internet, such as RFID key card door locks, smartphones and video surveillance
cameras, are common targets for hackers.
