A Detailed Look at the Consequences of Increasing Identity Theft

This presentation delves into the consequences of the increasing threat of identity theft, a form of cybercrime involving hackers and targeted systems. It highlights stolen identities, hacked social profiles, stalker access, and compromised victim whereabouts as key consequences. The presentation also discusses major cyber threats like ransomware, Trojan viruses, and worms. It concludes by recommending strong passwords, updated antivirus software, robust frameworks, one-time passwords, and updated software versions to mitigate these threats.

CONSEQUENCES OF
INCREASING THREAT OF
IDENTITY THEFT

Cyber Crime is basically a crime that is
involvement of a hacker and the system they
want to hack.
Cyber crime includes hacking, spamming,
and phishing that helps to get the
information of other's information.
INTRODUCTION

 Stolen Identity
 Hacking of Social Profile
 Helps the stalkers to get access to the
accounts of the genuine client
 Burglars knowing about the whereabouts of
the victim
 Lack of consistency in security
Consequences

Stolen Identity
The identity of the genuine clients are at stake
with the imposters gaining access to the database
of the client where the personal details of the
clients are stored and privacy is ought to be
maintained in the framework of the database
(Richards, 2014).

The imposters who have been trying to gain
the access to the social profile of a genuine
client acts. Social Media platform has been
acting as the major target of the imposters
for gaining unauthenticated access to the
data of the client stored in the database
Hacking of Social Profile

The imposters who has been trying to track
the account of the data that are stored in
the database consists gain access to the
data of the clients (Jasper, 2017). This is
possible due to the factor of the lack of
robustness in the framework of the
database of the infrastructure.
Stalkers get access to the
accounts of the genuine client

The imposters on gaining the data of the
database of the clients are able to gain the
access of the data regarding the
whereabouts of the victim. The location of
the genuine client is tracked and the
imposter gains the access towards the
processing of the victim.
Knowing the whereabouts of
the victim

Despite the fact of the installation of the
firewall in the database of the computing
system the imposters are armed with more
advanced security tracing alliances (Boyd,
2017). The tracing of the firewall is very
easy for the imposters. Hence the
consistency of the security system is at
stake.
Lack of consistency in
security

 Ransomware
 Trojan virus
 Morris worm
 Mellissa virus
 Blaster worm

It can be concluded that the cyber crime is
the most advance criminal activity, which
involves computer, network, or some
networked device.
Most of the cybercrimes are carried out for
the purpose of getting profit and getting the
access to the information from other’s
device.
Conclusion

 Setting strong password
 Installing the latest version of the antivirus
 Making the framework robust in nature
 One time password
 Use update version of the software (Allen
and McAllister, 2015)
