3. Introduction
 The internet in India is growing rapidly. It has given rise
to new opportunities in every field we can think of be it
entertainment, business, sports or education.
 There are two sides to a coin. Internet also has its own
disadvantages. One of the major disadvantages is Cyber
crime i.e illegal activity committed on the internet.
 Cyber crime is not an old sort of crime to the world. It is
defined as any criminal activity which takes place on or
over the medium of computers or internet or other
technology recognized by the Information Technology
Act.

4. What is Cybercrime
 Cybercrime is any illegal act committed using a
computer network (especially the Internet).
 Cybercrime is a subset of computer crime.
 Cyber crime is the most prevalent crime playing a
devastating role in Modern India. Not only the criminals
are causing enormous losses to the society and the
government but are also able to conceal their identity to
a great extent.

5. Evolution of Cyber Attacks
 In the last quarter-century alone, cyber-attacks have evolved from
tiny hacks developed by high school students to state-sponsored
attacks that compromised the presidential election.
 With the advent of the 2000s and the mass adoption of applications
by the digital world, we have entered a new era of cyber threats that
focus on exploiting vulnerabilities in these applications.
 Beginning in 2010 large organizations began hiring more
cybersecurity experts to counter the risk of cyber threats, as the
sense of supposed digital security evaporated.
 2016 has seen an increase in multi-vector attacks, which are largely
state-sponsored and therefore have the potential to attract a lot of
attention. These kinds of attacks happen to be the most destructive,
as hackers develop tools to attack anything and everything digital.

6. History
 The first recorded cyber crime took place in the year
1820.
 In 1820, Joseph-Marie Jacquard, a textile manufacturer
in France, produced the loom. This device allowed the
repetition of a series of steps in the weaving of special
fabrics.
 This resulted in a fear amongst Jacquard‘s employees
that their traditional employment and livelihood were
being threatened.
 They committed acts of sabotage to discourage Jacquard
from further use of the new technology. This is the first
recorded cyber crime.

9. Cyber crime Categories
 Cybercrime is a broad term that is used to define
criminal activity where a computer or computer
network is a tool, target, or location of criminal
activity, including computers themselves. The term
is a generic term that includes crimes such as the
abduction of children by chatroom scams
 Cyber crime major categories are as follows:
1) Cyber crime against persons.
2) Cyber crime against property.
3) Cyber crime against government.

10. First Category
 Cyber harassment is a distinct Cybercrime. Various kinds of
harassment can and do occur in cyberspace, or through the use of
cyberspace. Harassment can be sexual, racial, religious, or other.
 Particular attention has been paid to the use of cybercrime as a tool
for organized crime groups such as drug traffics and money
laundering. This type of crime includes the use of virtual currencies
such as Bitcoin, Litecoin, Bitcoin Cash, Monero, and Ethereum.
 The spread of the Internet in daily life has made online harassment a
major threat to the safety and well-being of many people. Online
harassment can include threatening e-mails, threats of physical
violence, or posting information on the Internet. Cyberbullying,
online predatory, cyberstalking, Internet trolling, propagation of
illegal obscene, or offensive content, including harassment and
threats are considered as online harassment.

11. Second Category
 These crimes include computer vandalism(destruction of others'
property), transmission of harmful programs, unauthorized
trespassing through cyber space, unauthorized possession of
computer information.
 Cybercrime is a criminal activity that involves computers,
networked devices, and networks. This is done by infecting
computers with computer viruses that spread to other computers in a
network, such as networks, servers, and other computer systems. A
computer as a target means an illegal act in which the main target is
a computer or network. DDoS attacks and malware are considered
as computers as targets.
 Computer as a tool crime is categorized when the individuals are the
primary targets. For such cyber crimes, relatively less technical
expertise is needed. Some computers as a tool for cyber attacks are
identity theft, phishing scams, and spam.

12. Third Category
 Cyber terrorism is one distinct kind of crime in
this category.
 Crimes against the government (accessing
confidential information, cyber warfare, pirated

which materials to search and seize, the
electronic evidence to recover, and the chain of
custody to maintain .
