 Definition

Cybercrime is
criminal activity
that either
targets or uses a
computer, a
computer
network or a
networked
device. 3
 Introduction

• Most cybercrime is committed by

cybercriminals or hackers who want to make
money. However, occasionally cybercrime
aims to damage computers or networks for
reasons other than profit.
• These could be political or personal.
• Cybercrime can be carried out by individuals
or organizations.

 Types of Cyber Crime

• Email and internet fraud.

• Identity fraud (where personal information is
stolen and used).
• Theft of financial or card payment data.
• Theft and sale of corporate data.
• Cyberextortion (demanding money to
prevent a threatened attack).
• Ransomware attacks (a type of
cyberextortion).
●●●
6
 Types of Cyber Crime

• Cryptojacking (where hackers mine

cryptocurrency using resources they do not
own).
• Cyberespionage (where hackers access
government or company data).
• Interfering with systems in a way that
compromises a network.
• Infringing copyright.
• Illegal gambling.
●●●
7
 Types of Cyber Crime

• Selling illegal items online.

• Soliciting, producing, or possessing child
pornography.
Cybercrime involves one or both of the following:
• Criminal activity targeting computers using
viruses and other types of malware.
• Criminal activity using computers to commit
other crimes.

●●●
8
 Types of Cyber Crime

• Cybercriminals that target computers may infect

them with malware to damage devices or stop
them working. They may also use malware to
delete or steal data.
• Or cybercriminals may stop users from using a
website or network or prevent a business
providing a software service to its customers,
which is called a Denial-of-Service (DoS) attack.

●●●
9
 Types of Cyber Crime

• Cybercrime that uses computers to commit

other crimes may involve using computers or
networks to spread malware, illegal
information or illegal images.
• Cybercriminals are often doing both at once.

●●●
10
 Types of Cyber Crime

• They may target computers with viruses first

and then use them to spread malware to other
machines or throughout a network.
• Some jurisdictions recognize a third category of
cybercrime which is where a computer is used
as an accessory to crime.
• An example of this is using a computer to store
stolen data.

11
 Examples of Cyber Crime

Malware attacks
• A malware attack is where a computer
system or network is infected with a
computer virus or other type of malware. A
computer compromised by malware could be
used by cybercriminals for several purposes.
• These include stealing confidential data,
using the computer to carry out other
criminal acts, or causing damage to data.
●●●
12
 Examples of Cyber Crime

Phishing
• A phishing campaign is when spam emails, or
other forms of communication, are sent with
the intention of tricking recipients into doing
something that undermines their security.
• Phishing campaign messages may contain
infected attachments or links to malicious
sites, or they may ask the receiver to respond
with confidential information.
●●●
13
 Examples of Cyber Crime

Distributed DoS attacks

• Distributed DoS attacks (DDoS) are a type of
cybercrime attack that cybercriminals use to
bring down a system or network.
• Sometimes connected IoT (Internet of
Things) devices are used to launch DDoS
attacks.

14
 Impact of Cyber Crime
• Generally, cybercrime is on the rise. According
to Accenture’s State of Cybersecurity Resilience
2021 report, security attacks increased 31%
from 2020 to 2021.
• The number of attacks per company increased
from 206 to 270 year on year. Attacks on
companies affect individuals too since many of
them store sensitive data and personal
information from customers.
●●●
15
 Impact of Cyber Crime
• A single attack – whether it’s a data breach,
malware, ransomware or DDoS attack - costs
companies of all sizes an average of $200,000,
and many affected companies go out of
business within six months of the attack,
according to insurance company Hiscox.

●●●
16
 Impact of Cyber Crime
• Javelin Strategy & Research published an
Identity Fraud Study in 2021 which found that
identity fraud losses for the year totalled $56
billion.
• For both individuals and companies, the impact
of cybercrime can be profound – primarily
financial damage, but also loss of trust and
reputational damage.

17
 How to report a cybercrime
Reporting a cybercrime in the US:
• File a report with the Internet Crime
Complaint Center (IC3) as soon as
possible. Visit ic3.gov for more
information.
Reporting a cybercrime in the UK:
• Contact Action Fraud as soon as possible

●●●
18
 How to report a cybercrime
Reporting a cybercrime in the EU:
• Europol has a useful website here which
collates the relevant cybercrime reporting
links for each EU member state.

19
 How to protect yourself
against cybercrime
Keep software and operating system
updated
• Keeping your software and operating
system up to date ensures that you benefit
from the latest security patches to protect
your computer.

●●●
20
 How to protect yourself
against cybercrime
Use anti-virus software and keep it updated
• Using anti-virus or a comprehensive internet
security solution like Kaspersky Total Security
is a smart way to protect your system from
attacks.
• Anti-virus software allows you to scan, detect
and remove threats before they become a
problem

●●●
21
 How to protect yourself
against cybercrime
Use strong passwords
• Be sure to use strong passwords that
people will not guess and do not record
them anywhere.
• Or use a reputable password manager to
generate strong passwords randomly to
make this easier.

●●●
22
 How to protect yourself
against cybercrime
Never open attachments in spam emails
• A classic way that computers get infected
by malware attacks and other forms of
cybercrime is via email attachments in
spam emails.
• Never open an attachment from a sender
you do not know.

●●●
23
 How to protect yourself
against cybercrime
Do not click on links in spam emails or
untrusted websites
• Another way people become victims of
cybercrime is by clicking on links in spam
emails or other messages, or unfamiliar
websites.
• Avoid doing this to stay safe online.

24
 Conclusion

 Cybercrime is any criminal activity that involves a

computer, networked device or a network.
 While most cybercrimes are carried out in order
to generate profit for the cybercriminals, some
cybercrimes are carried out against computers or
devices directly to damage or disable them.
