WEBVTT 00:00.080 --> 00:01.700 Example of cybercrime. 00:01.850 --> 00:07.160 Different types of computer threats are associated with various types of damaging effects. 00:07.430 --> 00:13.880 For example, some threats may damage or corrupt your installed operating system and force you to reinstall 00:13.880 --> 00:14.360 it. 00:14.570 --> 00:18.380 Another type may steal your credentials and saved passwords. 00:18.860 --> 00:22.460 Still, other threats may not bring any harm to your PC. 00:22.730 --> 00:27.230 Instead, they will track your online activities and invade your privacy. 00:27.470 --> 00:33.200 Today, criminals are smarter than ever before, and malicious programs are more sophisticated. 00:33.230 --> 00:39.320 Modern malware can infect a target computing device and remain undetected for a long time. 00:39.680 --> 00:45.350 The motive behind the majority of cyber attacks nowadays is not to damage your machine, but instead 00:45.350 --> 00:50.660 to steal your money, to access your private information or to acquire your logon credentials. 00:50.900 --> 00:57.380 Similar to traditional crime, cybercrime can be grouped into various categories according to the malicious 00:57.380 --> 00:59.360 actor's objected for applying it. 00:59.450 --> 01:04.210 The following are the most common forms of cybercrime malware distribution. 01:04.290 --> 01:10.800 Malware is short for malicious software and is any software employed to bring damage to computing devices, 01:10.800 --> 01:16.800 computers, smartphones, etcetera, or the stored content data or applications? 01:16.830 --> 01:22.560 Malware corruption can manifest in different ways, such as formatting your hard disk, deleting or 01:22.560 --> 01:28.770 corrupting files, stealing, saved login information, gathering sensitive information, your files 01:28.770 --> 01:33.900 and private photos, or simply displaying unwanted advertisements on your screen. 01:34.020 --> 01:40.140 Many malware variants are stealthy and operate silently without the user's knowledge or awareness. 01:40.170 --> 01:46.560 Malware is a term used to refer to many types of malicious software, such as computer viruses, worms, 01:46.590 --> 01:50.370 Trojan horses, spyware, Ransomware, rootkit. 01:50.370 --> 01:51.900 Scareware and adware. 01:51.930 --> 01:53.610 Ransomware Distribution. 01:53.850 --> 01:58.740 Ransomware is computer malware that installs silently on the user's machine. 01:58.770 --> 02:06.210 Its objective is to deny access to user files, sometimes encrypting the entire hard drive HD and even 02:06.210 --> 02:10.500 all the attached external drives and connected cloud storage accounts. 02:10.650 --> 02:16.920 It then demands that the user pay a ransom to get the malware creator to remove the restriction so the 02:16.920 --> 02:20.730 user can regain access to the system and stored assets. 02:21.330 --> 02:22.710 Cryptojacking. 02:23.040 --> 02:29.400 This is a piece of code usually written in JavaScript that infects your computer silently via a web 02:29.400 --> 02:31.740 browser to mine cryptocurrencies. 02:31.860 --> 02:37.920 As the cryptocurrency wave is on the rise, more cybercriminals are using such techniques for commercial 02:37.920 --> 02:41.490 gain using other people's computers without their knowledge. 02:41.520 --> 02:45.060 This attack consumes much of the target computer's CPU. 02:45.090 --> 02:51.750 Hacking Hacking is the process of invading your privacy by gaining unauthorized access to your computing 02:51.750 --> 02:53.730 device or internal network. 02:53.940 --> 03:00.420 Hackers usually scan your machines for vulnerabilities such as unpatched windows updates and gain access 03:00.420 --> 03:01.320 through them. 03:01.530 --> 03:08.370 After gaining access, they may install a keylogger or a Trojan horse to maintain their access to begin 03:08.370 --> 03:11.940 stealing information or to spy on user activities. 03:12.680 --> 03:14.240 SQL injections. 03:14.630 --> 03:20.030 This is a hacking technique that allows hackers to attack the security vulnerabilities of the database 03:20.030 --> 03:21.620 that runs a website. 03:21.650 --> 03:29.150 An attacker enters SQL code into target website web forms and executes it to force the back end database 03:29.150 --> 03:33.100 of the website to release confidential information to the attacker. 03:33.170 --> 03:34.520 You speed farming. 03:34.790 --> 03:41.630 This is a cyber attack intended to redirect users from a legitimate website to a fraudulent site without 03:41.630 --> 03:42.530 their knowledge. 03:42.560 --> 03:46.910 The end goal is usually to infect the target computer with a malware. 03:46.940 --> 03:55.010 Phishing phishing messages come in different shapes, such as SMS messages, emails and web site links, 03:55.010 --> 04:01.580 URLs, all of which are designed to look genuine and use the same format as the legitimate company they 04:01.580 --> 04:02.630 pretend to be. 04:02.780 --> 04:08.840 Phishing aims to collect user sensitive details such as banking information, login credentials and 04:08.840 --> 04:14.130 credit card info by tricking the end user into handing the information to the attacker. 04:14.160 --> 04:16.110 Email bombing and spamming. 04:16.530 --> 04:23.280 Email bombing occurs when an intruder or a group of intruders sends a large volume of emails to a target 04:23.280 --> 04:26.550 server or target email account making it crash. 04:26.580 --> 04:33.930 Spam is unsolicited email that usually sent to a large number of users for commercial purposes showing 04:33.960 --> 04:35.390 ads or promotions. 04:35.400 --> 04:41.760 However, many spam emails contain disguised links that can lead the victim to phishing websites or 04:41.760 --> 04:46.410 to malicious websites hosting malware to further infect the user's machine. 04:47.130 --> 04:48.420 Identity theft. 04:48.930 --> 04:55.110 Identity theft is stealing personal information about people and using it in an illegal context. 04:55.650 --> 04:57.060 Cyberstalking. 04:57.180 --> 04:59.850 This is an invasion of the user's privacy. 04:59.880 --> 05:05.940 It works when an intruder follows a target person's online activity and tries to harass slash threaten 05:05.940 --> 05:12.450 him or her using verbal intimidation via email, chat services and social media. 05:12.600 --> 05:18.690 The wide reach of social media sites and the vast amount of personal details available publicly make 05:18.690 --> 05:22.360 cyberstalking a major problem in today's digital age. 05:22.380 --> 05:24.480 Using Internet network Illegally. 05:24.510 --> 05:28.650 Spreading illegal contents and selling illegal services and products. 05:28.680 --> 05:35.220 Example include spreading hate and inciting terrorism and selling drugs and weapons, especially in 05:35.220 --> 05:36.360 the darknet market. 05:37.190 --> 05:38.630 DDoS attacks. 05:39.140 --> 05:45.590 A DDoS attack is an attempt to make an online service unavailable by overwhelming it with traffic from 05:45.590 --> 05:46.940 multiple sources. 05:47.240 --> 05:53.450 Attackers build networks of infected computers, which could be millions of machines known as botnets 05:53.450 --> 05:58.370 by spreading malicious software through emails, websites and social media. 05:58.550 --> 06:04.580 Once infected, these machines can be controlled remotely by a bot master without their owner's knowledge 06:04.580 --> 06:08.030 and used like an army to launch an attack against any target. 06:08.060 --> 06:09.560 Social Engineering. 06:09.800 --> 06:16.340 Social engineering is a kind of attack that uses psychological tricks, social tricks over the phone, 06:16.340 --> 06:22.850 or uses a computing device to convince someone to hand over sensitive information about himself or herself 06:22.850 --> 06:26.000 or about an organization and its computer systems. 06:26.180 --> 06:27.890 Software piracy. 06:28.190 --> 06:35.180 This is the unauthorized use, downloading and distribution of pirated material like movies, games, 06:35.180 --> 06:39.810 software, songs, books and other intellectual property products. 06:40.140 --> 06:45.540 Cybercrimes could be conducted by either one person or a group of organized criminals. 06:45.570 --> 06:51.870 The latter is more dangerous as it has the resources to conduct and develop sophisticated attacks against 06:51.870 --> 06:54.270 target organizations and individuals.
