a network . The computer may have been

used in the commission of a crime, or it may
be the target. Netcrime is criminal
exploitation of the Internet . Dr. Debarati
Halder and Dr. K. Jaishankar (2011) define
Cybercrimes as: "Offences that are
committed against individuals or groups of
individuals with a criminal motive to
intentionally harm the reputation of the
victim or cause physical or mental harm to
the victim directly or indirectly, using
modern telecommunication networks such
as Internet (Chat rooms, emails, notice
boards and groups) and mobile phones
(SMS/MMS)". Such crimes may threaten a
nations security and financial health. Issues
surrounding these types of crimes have
become high-profile, particularly those
surrounding cracking, copyright
infringement, child pornography, and child
grooming. There are also problems
of privacy when confidential information is
intercepted or disclosed, lawfully or
otherwise.

CAUSES
Wherever the rate of return on investment is
high and the risk is low, you are bound to
find people willing to take advantage of the
situation. This is exactly what happens in
cyber crime. Accessing sensitive information
and data and using it means a rich harvest
of returns and catching such criminals is
difficult. Hence, this has led to a rise in
cyber crime across the world.

CATEGORIES
Cyber crimes are broadly categorized into
three categories, namely crime against

CONCLUSION
As internet technology advances, so
does the threat of cyber crime . In
times like these, we must protect
ourselves from cybercrime. Anti
virus software, firewalls and security
patches are just the beginning.
Never open suspicious e-mails and
only navigate through trusted sites.
