The definition and the scope of cyber crimes

yber according to www.dictionary.com is a combining form meaning computer,

computernetwork, or virtual reality, used in the formation of compound words(cybertalk; cyberart; cyberspace) and by extension meaning very modern

(cyberfashion).

Crime,offense,sinagree in meaning a breaking of law. Crime usually means any serious violation

of human laws: thecrimeoftreasonorrobbery.Offense is used of an infraction of either humanor divine law, and does not necessarily mean a serious one: anoffenseleadingtoajailsentence;anoffenseagainstmorals.Sinmeans a breaking of moral or divine law: thesinsofgreedandlust.Cybercrime is criminal activity done using computers and the Internet. This includes anything

from downloading illegal music files to stealing millions of dollars from online bank accounts.

Cybercrime also includes non-monetary offenses, such as creating and distributing viruses on

other computers or posting confidential business information on the Internet.

Cybercrime also includes non-monetary offenses, such as creating and distributing viruses on

other computers or posting confidential business information on the Internet.

Perhaps the most prominent form of cybercrime is identity theft, in which criminals use the

Internet to steal personal information from other users. Two of the most common ways this is

done is through phishing and pharming. Both of these methods lure users to fake websites (thatappear to be legitimate), where they are asked to enter personal information. This

includes login information, such as usernames and passwords, phone numbers, addresses, credit

card numbers, bank account numbers, and other information criminals can use to "steal" another

person's identity. For this reason, it is smart to always check the URL or Web address of a site to

make sure it is legitimate before entering your personal information.

Because cybercrime covers such a broad scope of criminal activity, the examples above are only

a few of the thousands of crimes that are considered cybercrimes. While computers and the

Internet have made our lives easier in many ways, it is unfortunate that people also use these

technologies to take advantage of others. Therefore, it is smart to protect yourself by usingantivirus and spyware blocking software and being careful where you enter your personal

information.

Classification of cyber crimes

Cyber crime is one of the most popular crime today. But still many are not concerned with the

crime because they do not know how to take action against the perpetrators. Cyber crime have

different definitions.

Perhaps the most prominent form of cybercrime is identity theft, in which criminals use the

Internet to steal personal information from other users. Two of the most common ways this is

done is through phishing and pharming. Both of these methods lure users to fake websites (that

appear to be legitimate), where they are asked to enter personal information. This includes logininformation, such as usernames and passwords, phone numbers, addresses, credit card numbers,

bank account numbers, and other information criminals can use to "steal" another person's

identity. For this reason, it is smart to always check the URL or Web address of a site to make

sure it is legitimate before entering your personal information.

Because cybercrime covers such a broad scope of criminal activity, the examples above are only

a few of the thousands of crimes that are considered cybercrimes. While computers and the

Internet have made our lives easier in many ways, it is unfortunate that people also use these

technologies to take advantage of others. Therefore, it is smart to protect yourself by using

antivirus and spyware blocking software and being careful where you enter your personal

information.

Saya ingin membahagikan jenayah siber kepada empat bahagian. Empat bahagian ini merupakanbahagian utama yang saya fikirkan amat penting. Namun di dalam bahagian itu terdapat contoh-

contoh yang akan saya berikan dalam penerangan yang akan disampaikan kemudian. It can be

classified to:

1. Cyber crime against individual.

Comparison of cyber crimes in Malaysia and USA

Berbanding dengan USA, jenayah siber mempunyai perbezaan di Malaysia. Kita semua sudah

tahu bahawa USA merupakan sebuah Negara maju dan rakyatnya sangat mahir menggunakancomputer berbanding rakyat Malaysia. Motif dan juga matlamat jenayah siber di USA juga

mempunyai perbezaan yang ketara. Perbezaan inilah yang akan di terangkan dalam esei ini.

Suggestion

Setiap masalah mesti mempunyai cara untuk menyelesaikannya. Begitu juga dengan jenayah

siber ini. Pepatah ada menyebut prevention is better than cure. Cara pencegahan pula berbezadan ini amat bergantung kepada diri sendiri (jika berlaku pada diri sendiri) dan juga pihak

kerajaan sebagai pihak yang perlu menjaga kebajikan rakyatnya. Kerjasama yang baik dari

kedua-dua pihak amat diperlukan bagi mengawal jenayah siber daripada terus menjadi semakin

teruk.

Conclusion

Dengan berkembangnya kemudahan internet di dunia ini,maka akan bertambah jugalah jenayah

siber ini.Hadapilah kenyataan bahawa jenayah siber merupakan jenayah masa kini yang amatbahaya bukan sahaja kepada individu terlibat tetapi juga kepada Negara. Saya juga berpendapat

jenayah siber akan terus menjadi jenayah yang paling popular pada masa akan datang. Ini kerana

penggunaan computer semakin luar dan juga kemudahan untuk mencapai internet sudah semakin

meluas ke merata dunia. Mengambil contoh di Malaysia sahaja, kemudahan internet ini sudah

meliputi 45% di seluruh Malaysia dan semakin meningkat dari semasa ke semasa.

Untuk memastikan kita tidak terlibat daripada menjadi mangsa,kita haruslah sentiasa mengambil

langkah berjaga-jaga dengan memberikan perhatian setiap kali kita hendak melayari internet.

Langkah berjaga-jaga yang telah dijelaskan sebelum ini akan
