I hope everyone is well. God’s grace I am also well. Today’s topic is about cybercrime.

In simple words, any crime committed through the internet is called cybercrime. In other words, cybercrime is a crime in which computers or other electronic devices are mainly used, and criminals use the Internet to commit crimes worldwide. The FBI divides cybercrime into four main categories – insiders, hackers, virus writers and criminal groups.

Different Types of Cybercrime:

(01) Spamming and Junk Mail :

This is a great way to trick people. It basically works entirely based on social media and email. Using fake ID/email address they collect your address, credit or debit card number and even phone number. Now and then many people get a message that they have won several lakhs of pounds or foreign currency after winning the lottery. The message asks to send your name, address, mobile number and other personal information to their email address. This is basically a spam message.

(02) Pornography:
Porn sites are the most dangerous thing. Most of the sites contain harmful computer viruses. Many sites offer popup ads and sometimes ask for email addresses. These sites can be the main reason for infecting your computer with viruses.

(03) Hacking:
Hacker can spread virus on your computer and steal all your important information. Moreover, hackers can damage your social accounts and other websites by hacking them. They can hack credit card numbers by stealing the database of e-commerce websites. Which is very harmful for your business. Black hat hacking is a serious crime.

(04) Drug business:
Drug cartels are also active on the Internet. They are providing the information about drug purchase price, distribution system etc. to people worldwide on their website.

(05) Torture of women in cybercrime:
Many girls in our country are victims of cyber crime. Due to the unknown nature of cybercrime, pornographic pictures of many actresses and other girls of our country are spreading on the internet. Several crimes like posting rape videos and sex scenes on social media have also been organized. The level of crime like opening fake accounts with other people’s photos, threatening to publish nude photos etc. is also increasing day by day.
