organisations, and private persons equally. Cyber crime costs the United Kingdom billions of
pounds, causes immeasurable harm, and poses a national security concern. Cyber thieves attempt
to directly steal passwords, data, or money by exploiting human or security flaws. The following
are some of the most frequent cyber risks:
Hacking: that engage email passwords and threat against Social Media.
Phishing: personal details of individual and bogus email that asking for individuals security data
and information

Quotes to be used:
 Any illegal conduct involving a computer, networked device, or a network is referred to
as cybercrime.
 Cybercrime refers to a wide variety of harmful actions, such as illicit data interception,
system interferences that jeopardise network integrity and availability, and copyright
violations.
Summary of issue: Cyber crime is known as a criminal activity which target or adopted a
computer network for any kind of networking device. Cyber crime is it activity which is
committed bike cybercriminals that wants to make money and the cyber crime is the activity
which is carried out by the person or any kind of company. This report is going to explain about
the cybercrime and types of cybercrime which damage computers and individuals personal
information in order to make money. Every year, as individuals strive to earnings from weak
company system, cybercrime has risen. Attackers frequently seek ransom: 53% of cyber assaults
resulted in losses of $500,000 or more. Cyber threats can also be used for nefarious purposes. As
a kind of "hacktivism," some attackers want to destroy systems and data. Malware, which

includes spyware, ransom ware, viruses, and worms, is referred to as malware. Malware
infiltrates a network by exploiting a flaw, such as when a user clicks on a malicious link or
attachment in an email, which instals hazardous software. Ransom ware is a modern-day,
technological spin on extortion, a crime that has existed for centuries. At its most basic level,
ransom ware works by stealing something of significant value and demanding money in
exchange for its restoration. For the most part, this entails the encryption of firm information.
When ransom ware strikes, businesses grind to a halt, and employees are unable to do their
duties. Malware, according to Norton, is "malicious software" designed to gain access to or harm
a computer. Ransom ware is one type of malware that is meant to encrypt your data, but it isn't
the only one. Malware might have a variety of goals — power, influence, money, or knowledge
– but the end effect is usually the same: a time-consuming and frequently costly recovery
process. Cyberattacks occur in many shapes and sizes, as well as varying degrees of complexity.
Even fewer technically competent criminals may now commit cybercrime as a result of "off the
shelf" technology, and they are doing so as awareness of the potential rewards rises. The
increasing technological capabilities of software suggest that it might do greater harm while also
enabling new crimes, such as crypto mining malware, which targets digital currency.. Individuals
and businesses may suffer financial losses as a result of cyberattacks, as well as disruption and
anguish. We know there's a lot of underreporting going on, but the new General Data Protection
Regulation will certainly help us obtain a better picture of the problem. The intensity of attacks is
now not reflected in court sentences, which is a problem that has to be addressed.
