Cybercrime is a criminal activity that is committed using the internet or other forms of digital communication technology. Examples of cybercrime found on the internet include hacking, identity theft, fraud, malware attacks, extortion, data breaches, harassment, and trafficking. Cybercrime can have serious consequences, both for the victims and for society as a whole. It can cause financial losses, reputational damage, legal liability, and breach of privacy. In some cases, cybercrime can also threaten national security and public safety, such as in the case of cyberterrorism. Preventing and combating cybercrime is a complex challenge that requires a combination of legal, technical, and social measures. This includes cybersecurity best practices, such as using strong passwords, keeping software up to date, and being cautious when clicking on links or downloading attachments. It also involves law enforcement and international cooperation to investigate and prosecute cybercriminals.
