Cybercrimes

Cybercrimes are illegal acts


done through the use of the
Internet.
In 2012, Stephen Nale (Complex.com)
posted a list of ten most common Internet
cybercrimes as follows:

1. Phishing/Spoofing – the act of sending multiple


emails to multiple users in hopes of having a
number of them clicking on the links or malwares
attached to the email.

If the message has a ".exe," ".scr,"


"zip" or ".bat" file attached, consider
that a red flag and don't open it or
follow any instructions.
• 2. Blackmail/Extortion –
the act of using the
Internet to threaten or
damage someone’s
reputation to extort
money or anything else of
value. This can be
avoided if you are aware
of what you should post
on the Internet.
• 3. Accessing Stored
Communications – or
hacking; the act of obtaining
unauthorized access to data
from a computer network.
• In late 2015, a group
of Anonymous
Philippines hacked the Twitter
account of actress Maine
Mendoza, who plays the
famous character Yaya Dub of
the popular AlDub tandem
and posted links and
messages on the account.
• 4. Sports Betting –
the act of wagering on
any sports event over
the Internet. In some
countries, gambling
(including sports
betting) is illegal even
if you are doing it over
the Internet.
• 5. Non-Delivery of
Merchandise – the
act of devising a
scheme wherein a
culprit posts an item
or service for sale
over the Internet and
once the transactions
have been done,
does not really give
the item or service.
• 6. Electronic
Harassment – the act
of anonymously using
the Internet to harass,
abuse, threaten, or
annoy other people.
• 7.Child Pornography
– the act of using the
Internet to show child
pornography. This act
is highly punishable
by law.
• 8. Drug Trafficking –
the act of selling
illegal substances
using the Internet.
• Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA) director
Czerina Aquino said tech-savvy drug rings have learned
to use the services of ride-hailing apps to transport
drugs to their clients.

• “Based on reports, ‘yung mga customers ni Atillano nago-


order sa kanya through on-line. And upon online
payments, through bank-to-bank or credit card
transactions, nagde-deliver sya ng illegal drugs using
Grab or Uber. Basically it’s an on-line transaction,” said
Aquino.
• 9. Criminal Copyright
Infringement – the act of
piracy mainly for financial
gain. In late 2014, the
number one pirate
website, ThePirateBay,
was raided for the second
time due to years of
pirating movies, music,
games, books, and other
software. These kinds of
websites earn money
through advertising.
10. Prostitution
Persuading, inducing, enticing,
or coercing any individual to
travel in interstate commerce
to engage in prostitution.The
internet has become one of
the preferred methods of
communication for prostitution,
as clients and prostitutes are
less vulnerable to arrest or
assault and for its convenience
Combatting Cybercrimes

1. Network Security. Before a hacker can get through the


unauthorized files he or she is targeting, the hacker has to
get through several security measures like firewalls, secure
connections, passwords, anti-malwares, and data
encryptions. The Disadvantages of ICT 177
2. Investigation. URL tracing and logging are used by
websites to track your unique IP addresses. This can be used
by investigators to trace hackers. In piracy, trackers are used
to identify IP addresses currently sharing a pirated file.
3. Penalties. More and more laws are being created and
implemented today. Penalties include both a fine and
imprisonment.
