    About this ebook

    A problem that seems to be spreading across globally at an
    alarming rate – cybercrime seems to have annihilated millions.
    There is none that spared. There is always a mind working on
    how to breach the security of the cyberspace. Besides the
    smaller cybercrimes committed for money the more serious
    ones include drug dealings, pornography, prostitution, cyber
    stalking and stealing your identity. There is a long list of
    cybercrimes committed throughout the world and this list just
    seems to be increasing. Human mind is unfathomable and
    some of them are exceptionally astute and some of such minds
    go astray. It is a matter of time that technology developed for
    security is overpowered by someone, which is why there is no
    space for anything obsolete in the cyber world. The offenders
    look for system's that are obsolete and can be broken into.
    The phrase 'prevention is better than cure' cannot be used in
    a better place than here. Safeguarding the system and using
    the best possible anti-virus helps in shunning the offenders.
    There is a long trail of cybercrimes that have left marks deep
    enough to be remembered by mankind. The damages are
    economic, political and at times social.

      Introduction

      As the criminal activities increase in the somatic world, the virtual world hasn’t been left undisturbed. Machines can be manipulated and no matter how the technology is bettered, a loop hole unseals leading to a series of unfortunate events such as data destruction, damage to business reputation, loss of business and company assets and heavy costs incurred to recover the lost data and protect them. There are however several other reasons, these being the more significant ones.

      Cybercrime can be defined as an eclectic range of malicious undertakings that comprise intercepting data illegally, system intrusions that compromise network veracity and obtainability and copyright violations.
