Computer Crimes And Types by Nobody: 3:57pm On Oct 08, 2015 |
Detailed explanations of some computer crimes are given below: 1. Phishing : This is the use of tricky ways to get passwords, usernames, and credit card details from people on the internet. This is usually done by copying the source codes of popular websites like facebook, twitter, PayPal, etc. by hackers and pasting them in another fake site, redirecting people to such sites using shortened links. People mistaking such sites to popular sites, tend to enter their login details on them and once the details are submitted, they are saved on the hacker’s database or sent to his or her mailbox. It could also be carried out through mails. 2. Identity theft: This is a more common computer crime. It involves the posing as someone by fraudsters with the aim of either extorting money from people, obtaining other forms of benefits or ruin the person’s reputations. This is usually done on charity organizations, churches or celebrities and done on social networks, forums and blogs. 3. Hacking: Hacking is the act of getting into someone else’s computer system without permission in order to find out information or do something illegal by people known as hackers. Hackers exploit weaknesses in a computer system or computer network. 4. Cyber extortion: This is the use of threat or force by hackers to get money and other things from websites, companies and people. Here, they threaten or harm websites, servers and portals and demand payment from them to avoid destroying them and often times offer to protect such websites while they are paid...........for more, visit http://www.researchersportal.org/2015/09/computer-crime-about-and-types.html 1 Like |
