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!

Introduction
 Cyber crime is the latest and perhaps
the most complicated problem in the
cyber world.
 “Cyber crime may be said to be those
species, of which, genus is the
conventional crime, and where either the
computer is an object or subject of the
conduct constituting crime”
Dr. N. K. Amin (ACP)
Gujarat Police
CONVENTIONAL CRIME
 Crime is a social and economic phenomenon
and is as old as the human society. Crime is a
legal concept and has the sanction of the law.
Crime or an offence is “a legal wrong that can
be followed by criminal proceedings which may
result into punishment.”
 A crime may be said to be any conduct
accompanied by act or omission prohibited by
law and consequential breach of which is
visited by penal consequences.
Dr. N. K. Amin (ACP)
Gujarat Police
Definition
 “Any criminal activity that uses a computer
either as an instrumentality, target or a means
for perpetuating further crimes comes within the
ambit of cyber crime”
 “ unlawful acts wherein the computer is
either a tool or target or both”
 “Illegal computer-mediated activities that can be
conducted through global electronic networks”
Dr. N. K. Amin (ACP)
Gujarat Police
Understand the Fundamentals
 Internet has offered us a much more
convenient way to share information across
time and place.
 Cyberspace also opened a new venue for
criminal activities.

COMPUTER AS A TARGET
OF A CRIME
 Physical damage,
 Theft or destruction of information (data).
 The spread of viruses, worms,
 software piracy, hacking etc.
 A computer virus is a self-replicating
computer program written to alter the way
a computer operates, without the
permission or knowledge of the user.

Computer as an instrumentality.
 This category include such crimes were
either computers or their contents bare
used in furtherance of crime or those
offences which are committed by
manipulating contents of computer
systems. They could include sending emails, r ransom notes or manipulating
computer contents for credit card frauds
telecommunication frauds or theft.
Dr. N. K. Amin (ACP)
Gujarat Police

CYBER CRIMINALS:
 Children and adolescents between the
age group of 6 – 18 years –
 Organised hackers Professional hackers / crackers –
 Discontented employees-
Dr. N. K. Amin (ACP)
Gujarat Police
Characteristics of Computer
Crime:
 Silent in Nature: Computer crime could be committed in
privacy without reaching to scene of crime physically i.e. no
eye witnesses. There is no signs of physical violence or
struggle.
 Global in character: No national borders. By sitting
comfortably far away from the country the entire economy
of the country could be destroyed. As digital evidences are
fragile in nature one has to respond quickly.
 Non existence of Physical Evidence: No physical evidence to
indicate that crime has been committed. Only on a closer
look the trained person could find out the evidences which
are not in the traditional format but are in digital format.
Dr. N. K. Amin (ACP)
Gujarat Police
Characteristics of Computer
Crime:
 Creates high Impact: Impact is severe and may be long
term. It can damage the victim system permanently. Loss of
good will.
 High Potential and Easy to Perpetrate: A software
developer who did not get enough money or good job would
turn to criminal world for their survival. Therefore, the
computer crimes have a potential to increase. Hence
organized mafia may enter into this sector.

Are You A Safe Cyber
Surfer?

Fortunately, there are steps you can take to protect
your computer,

Make sure your passwords have both letters and
numbers, and are at least eight characters long.
 Avoid common words: some hackers use programs that
can try every word in the dictionary.
 Don’t use your personal information, your login name or
adjacent keys on the keyboard as passwords-and don’t
share your passwords online or over the phone.
Dr. N. K. Amin (ACP)
Gujarat Police
Are You A Safe Cyber


Protect yourself from viruses by
installing anti-virus software and
updating it regularly.
 Prevent unauthorized access to your
computer through firewall software or
hardware.
Dr. N. K. Amin (ACP)
Gujarat Police
Are You A Safe Cyber
Surfer?
Don’t open a file attached to an e-mail unless you are
expecting it or know what it contains.
 If you send an attachment, type a message explaining
what it is.
 Never forward any e-mail warning about a new virus. It
may be a hoax and could be used to spread a virus.
 When something bad happens-you think you’ve been
hacked or infected by a viruse-mail a report of the incident to your Internet provider

Dr. N. K. Amin (ACP)
Gujarat Police
Take a test before opening
e-mail attachment
 Is the email from someone that you know?
 Have you received email from this sender
before?
 Were you expecting email with an attachment
from this sender?
 Does email from the sender with the contents
as described in the Subject line and the name
of the attachment(s) make sense?
 Does this email contain a virus? To determine
this, you need to install and use an anti-virus
program.
Dr. N. K. Amin (ACP)
Gujarat Police
What is computer security?



Detection helps you to determine whether or not
someone attempted to break into your system, if they
were successful, and what they may have done.
Computer security is the process of preventing and
detecting unauthorized use of your computer.
Prevention measures help you to stop unauthorized
users (also known as "intruders") from accessing any
part of your computer system.
Dr. N. K. Amin (ACP)
Gujarat Police
Why should I care about
computer security?
 We use computers for everything from
banking and investing to shopping and
communicating with others through
email or chat programs.
Dr. N. K. Amin (ACP)
Gujarat Police
Who would want to break
into my computer at home?
 Intruders (also referred to as
hackers, attackers, or crackers) .
 Often they want to gain control of
your computer so they can use it
to launch attacks on other
computer systems.
Dr. N. K. Amin (ACP)
Gujarat Police
How easy is it to break into
my computer?

intruders are always discovering new
vulnerabilities (informally called "holes")
to exploit in computer software.
 When holes are discovered, computer
vendors will usually develop patches to
address the problem(s). However, it is
up to you, the user, to obtain and install
the patches, or correctly configure the
software to operate more securely.
Dr. N. K. Amin (ACP)
Gujarat Police
How easy is it to break into
my computer?
 Also, some software applications have default
settings that allow other users to access your
computer unless you change the settings to be
more secure. Examples include chat programs
that let outsiders execute commands on your
computer or web browsers that could allow
someone to place harmful programs on your
computer that run when you click on them.
Dr. N. K. Amin (ACP)
Gujarat Police
Use Strong Password
 For each computer and service you use (e-mail, chatting,





online purchasing, for example), you should have a
password.
You shouldn’t write them down nor should you share
them with anyone, even your best friends.
Computer intruders use trial-and-error, or brute-force
techniques, to discover passwords.
Use alphanumeric characters and special characters in
your password.
The length of password should be as long as possible
(More than 8 characters).
Do not write it to some place where it is visible to
someone else.
Dr. N. K. Amin (ACP)
Gujarat Police
Protect Your Personal
Computer
 Use the latest version of a good anti-virus software
package which allows updation from the Internet.
 Use the latest version of the operating system, web
browsers and e-mail programs.
 Don’t open e-mail attachments unless you know the
source. Attachments, especially executables (those
having .exe extension) can be dangerous.
 Confirm the site you are doing business with. Secure
yourself against "Web-Spoofing". Do not go to websites
from email links.
Dr. N. K. Amin (ACP)
Gujarat Police
Protect Your Personal
Computer
 Create passwords containing atleast 8 digits. They
should not be dictionary words. They should combine
upper and lower case characters.
 Use different passwords for different websites.
 Send credit card information only to secure sites.
 Use a security program that gives you control over
"Cookies" that send information back to websites. Letting
all cookies in without monitoring them could be risky.

Identity Theft
 Identity theft occurs when somebody steals a personal
name and other personal information for fraudulent
purposes.
 Identity theft is a form of identity crime where somebody
uses a false identity to commit a crime.
 It involves stealing victims’ personal information and
credentials, often to make purchases.
 It is an act of impersonating another by means of using
the person’s information, such as birth date, Social
Security number, address, name, and bank account
information.
Dr. N. K. Amin (ACP)
Gujarat Police
Identity Theft
 It is an fact the co-option of another person’s personal
information e.g., name, Social Security number, credit
card number or passport without that person’s knowledge
and the fraudulent use of such knowledge.
 Identity theft is deliberately assuming another person’s
identity, usually to gain access to their finances or frame
them for a crime.
 It can also be used to enable illegal immigration,
terrorism, espionage, or changing identity permanently.
Dr. N. K. Amin (ACP)

I.P. Address

Each computer on the Internet has an IP address that uniquely identifies it from all
other computers on the Internet.





IP stands for Internet protocol, and these addresses are 32-bit numbers, normally
expressed as 4 "octets" in a "dotted decimal number." A typical IP address looks
like this:
203.217.36.138
The four numbers in an IP address are called octets, .
Every machine on the Internet has a unique IP address.
A server has a static IP address that does not change very often.
A home machine that is dialing up through a modem often has an IP address that
is assigned by the ISP when you dial in. That IP address is unique for your
session—it may be different the next time you dial in. This way, an ISP only needs
one IP address for each modem it supports, rather than for each customer.

CONCLUSION
 It is not possible to eliminate cyber crime
from the cyber space.
 It is quite possible to check them.
 History is the witness that no legislation
has succeeded in totally eliminating
crime from the globe
 The only possible step is to make
people aware of their rights and duties
