The Cyber Manhunt

A person up to date in today's society must acknowledge the importance and the parcticality of the internet. Just as in other areas of society, personal freedoms are stretched to the very limit on this modern invention, raising isuues in regards to what type of information the internet should be allowed to broadcast. Since its inception, the internet has spawned overnight millionaires, served as the new information medium, and even played host to some heinous crimes. The topic of greatest concern though, is in how the people legislate the division between what is obscence and what is allowable. The way that these issues are dealt with will shape the very form in which the internet and other

There are many dangers happening in the online world that a lot of people don’t know about. In some cases, you hear on the news that ‘a girl’s online harasser kidnapped her’ or something else along those lines. For those reason in particular, it would

Internet: Lack of Credibility, bad news, has become a big problem for privacy and often used for criminal acts.

The main difficulties that the police agencies face during the online crime investigation include the multi jurisdictions, obtaining the warrant for search and seize, anonymity, significant amount of data, and consistently evolving technologies and techniques(Wall, 2012). Specifically in the online predators crime, the idea of obtaining a warrant is the most critical difficulty the police agencies have. Similarly to other actual physical criminal cases such as murder or assault, the key component in conducting the successful investigation is to identify and obtain the actual evidences that can prove the offense(Power, 2013). However in terms of the cyber crimes, most evidences are contained in the actual computer itself, which, it explains that the

Some of the most common cyber-crimes are cyberstalking, identity theft, spam and phishing among others. Cyber stalking has been classified as one of prevalent cybercrimes with many internet users falling victims of cyber bullying. Cyber stalkers meet their victims in different ways; mostly they normally have a relationship either in the real world or online world. Cyberstalking starts when this relationship ends. However, strangers who have collected information on the internet can also be cyber stalkers. The desire to control and even harm their victims is what motivates cyber stalkers. They may go to the measures of personifying their victims and post messages or controversial posts on the boards and chat rooms. In this real regard, cyberstalking is a real crime (Mansourabadi, 2014).

The sharing of information may well be the most advanced activity of the twenty-first century occurring across ages and backgrounds with relative ease. Nevertheless, the use of information that is aired through the internet raises several genuine concerns regarding nature, intent, source, and destination as well as the consequences of the content. This is particularly true when the information has to do with people 's identities and other activities that may touch on critical aspects of national security and unauthorized business. As such, there is a mix of reactions among individuals regarding the extent of privacy they would like regarding information that they share or retrieve on the internet. While some may have genuine concerns such as protecting their identity, others are on malicious tracks to cover their person and conduct unwarranted business on the web. The mix of concerns led to the rise of the Dark Web on darknets. A darknet is an overlay network that utilizes the public Internet but requires authorization or special software to access mainly to protect the user’s identity and location from network surveillance and traffic analysis (Sui, Caverlee & Rudesill 2003). Such trends on the internet raise the question; is the Dark Web an important and necessary tool to offset pervasive online surveillance in contemporary society or is the moral panic surrounding the Dark Web in global news media justified? The aim of this research is to answer the raised question

Today people of authority are experiencing a new wave of crime, transforming how criminals are using technology to invent new crimes and rewriting the traditional methods of how crimes were once committed (PERF, 2018). Due to many advances in technology it’s becoming easier for criminals to gain information on how to commit numerous illegal acts whilst remaining anonymous, this is making it harder for people in a position of authority to find the culprit as there is only little evidence (PERF, 2018). To prove that cyber crime is becoming more popular as there were almost three hundred thousand reports of people being victimised on the internet during 2016 (PERF, 2018), This shows that crime is becoming more based on online acts and it is seen as a fast and convenient way to harm and abuse the justice system as it is extremely easy to access without the added risk of risking their identity, The rise of internet based crimes is obvious in every day use as mostly everyone has a computer or a device that is connected to the internet although due to the existing systems of measuring crimes were created for felonies committed in a psychical form not over the internet as it is becoming harder for police and other authoritarians to create any new developments regarding minimising the new crime

The internet is an amazing technological advancement that opened the door to a connected society. Since the early days of the internet, people have built ways to safeguard their possessions with various security systems from thieves. Once people are in the cyberspace securing personal items or information gets a little trickier. It is common knowledge to assume government agencies have the means and possible authority to search the internet in its entirety, but should people grow mad over this blatant invasion of privacy? Consider this; what if accepting the government’s access to all information in cyberspace will help them easily catch terrorists, thieves, cyber bullies, and other nuisances? In the public space that is the internet, privacy

While others use computers for online gambling others use the cyberspace as an easy tool to seek for sex. Perpetrators use the technology to hide their identities, some participants are married, well-educated with a college degree, politicians, male, and white, seeking being sex stimulated. Pornography Cyber-stalkers use the cyber space for harassing, and threat people by sending emails, letters, and text messages to their victims causing fear. In some cases stalkers use this technology to find personal information of their victims, such as address, phone number, email. People may use Cyber-hate to send anonymously hate messages toward others. This method also is use to express discrimination against minority groups through the cyberspace. Every day more and more crimes are committed thought the internet. If someone being victimized of a cyber-crime on the internet, is encourage to reporter it to the local law enforcement agency, resulting in

With this unimaginable treasure of information and enlightening wealth comes with it a certain degree of deregulation and disorder, where, often enough, there are no solidified, concrete laws to curb illegal or immoral activity. In a sense, the Internet is a world all of its own: a whole new realm of human interaction, where anonymity is a gift and its use, a weapon to use against everyone else. Much unlike the reality of the world, the Internet is a place where anybody can simply slip on a digital mask and whisk their way into the black mire, slipping past justice and morality and into the trenches of criminality and malevolence. Under the protection of a digital screen, countless numbers of wrongdoings are committed everyday, where no one hears the rings of justice or the cries for help. This number has exploded in the few recent years, where social media has grasped hold of ourselves and trapped us within the bright, inviting screens of tweets, posts, and updates. This introduction of an unprecedented amount of social media users have lured in the people whose purposes are exploitative and harrowing. Sadly, much of the outside world is powerless to help those victimized by these people, as the Internet is modern man’s new Wild, Wild West, where debauchery runs amuck and the helpless struggle to protect themselves from those who wish to see them harmed. It

INTRO The Darkening Web: The War for Cyberspace by Alexander Klimburg is a novel that is written around the importance as well as the relevance of the internet in today’s society regarding state safety. The claim Klimburg makes throughout the novel is that no invention at all has changed the way we live, as much as it has been changed by the creation of the Internet. Many would consider the Internet to be the greatest invention to happen to mankind, considering how easily accessible it is and how much information it holds. However, Klimburg’s novel explores the idea of cyberspace in regard to politics.

The agencies employed by governments to police the web in order to protect the vulnerable have seen an increase in child pornography and online fraud. The speed at which information can be distributed and the number of people that can be reached attracts those that are intent on causing harm. The term “cybercrime” is becoming more widely used. The financial gains that can be made and the anonymity the internet can provide, make the virtual world of cyberspace a haven for criminals. Although the internet has huge benefits for information gathering and social networking, in the wrong hands it can cause harm to the vulnerable and criminals are able to vanish into the underground with the use of false identities that are hard to track online.

In today’s world, we are all in some way connected to or involved with the internet. We all use different services that we feel either enrich our lives or make them more enjoyable every day, from email to FaceBook, MySpace, and e-commerce. We all take a sort of false comfort in the basic anonymity of the internet; however, when we think about it, that could end up being the single biggest risk to our own safety today. When we typically think of crimes committed against us, we could probably name several: mugging, theft, scams, murder, and rape. For these, things we all take as many necessary steps as we can to help lower the chances of them happening to us because they are on the forefront of our minds. However, most of us don’t take the

The Internet is a connection of computers across the world through a network. Its origin dates back to the 1960s when the U.S Military used it for research, but it became more available to the public from the late 1980s. The World Wide Web was created in 1989 and browsers began appearing in the early 1990s. Over the last 24 years, the Internet has enabled people to shop, play, do research, communicate and conduct business online. It has also become cheaper and faster in performing different tasks. As much as the Internet has done immeasurable good to society, it has also dominated people’s lives and brought with it an array of cybercrimes. According to Nicholas Carr in his book The Shallows: How the Internet is Changing the Way we Think,
