What are the types of cyber crime?

Computer targeted crimes such as DOS attack, hacking, and virus attack and so on
Computer weapon crime- here computer gets used as a weapon to sin such as credit card frauds, EFT frauds, IPR violations, cyber terrorism, pornography, and so on.

Let’s elaborate the types of cyber crime:

• Identity theft- when an individual’s personal information is stolen to get access to the financial resource or to take a loan or to use a credit card then such crimes called identity theft.
• Cyber bullying- when an adolescent or teenager defames someone with the help of the phone, internet, instant messaging, chat rooms, or any social media platform, that adolescent said to be committing cyber bullying. When an adult commits the same crime, it is known as cyber stalking.
• Cyber terrorism- when a threat of harm is being subjected to an individual, organization, group, or state, the crime is known as cyber terrorism. Generally, this kind of cyber crime includes planned attack strategies on the corporate computer system and government.
• Defamation- in India, every individual has his/her right to speech on internet platforms. But if an individual’s statement crosses the limit and harms the reputation of an organization or an individual, he/she can be charged with Defamation law.
• Hacking- it is one of the common cyber crimes today. Here the criminal gets access to other people’s computers and information and uses those to satisfy the wrong intention.
• Freedom of speech- being a cyber-offender and saying anything you want according to freedom of speech right on the internet has a thin differentiation. Here cyber law mainly refrains obscenity and crassness on the internet.
• Trade secrets- IT organizations spend a lot of time and money to craft software, applications, and tools. Cyber law protects their data and trade secrets against theft.
• Harassment and stalking- these are prohibited over the internet platforms. Cyber laws protect the victim and prosecute the lawbreaker.
