The Internet Is An Indispensable Requirement Of Common Man

Cybercrime has experienced significant progress during recent years, as its advance is directly proportional with the advance of technology. In spite of the fact that the authorities devise new and better strategies to fight cybercrime, the fact that the number of people online is constantly increasing means that cybercrimes occur even more frequently. Dishonest people who seek opportunities have discovered how the internet stands as a perfect environment for them to commit crimes by taking as little risks as possible. Computer fraud generates a series of benefits for the person committing it, as he or she can either profit financially from the enterprise or can simply alter files in order for his or her image to be positively affected. Identity theft is a major form of cybercrime and it is essential for society to acknowledge the gravity of the matter in order to be able to effectively fight against criminals using it.

Today people are living in the world of the Internet. Due to it, it is possible to get education without leaving home, see people who are live very far from, make business, earn money etc. It is a good and a powerful source for discovering anything in any sphere. However, the disadvantages of the Internet overweigh the advantages. Because of the fat that there are black markets, the web sites which harmfully effect on children, the porn sites and games which cause suicide, the dark side of the Internet is now the biggest challenge of 21st century.

“The Internet-the vast network of telephone and cable lines, wireless connections, and satellite systems designed to link and carry digital information worldwide was initially described as an information superhighway.” (Campbell pg. 41). The Internet allows for ease in communication within e-mails, but it also guarantees the easy availability of information. Being able to access the Internet no matter the location is a great tool to have.

The internet has brought upon a new revolution of global interconnection where contacting someone on the other side of the world is just a click away, but with this international phenomenon comes an increased susceptibility with unfamiliar technology. Internet crime is compiled of all non-physical crime with the aid of a computer. Although broad in definition internet crimes are largely composed of acts such as cyber fraud, ‘phishing’ (username and password hacking), cyber stalking and hacking. Internet crime does not pose an overwhelming issue in society in terms of its

Over the past twenty years, the Internet’s role in our lives has grown to an everyday necessity. We rely on the Internet to communicate within the scope of our employment and social lives, to conduct our banking and bill paying, we even use it to track our personal property. There is hardly one area of our lives that we can not conduct over the Internet. While the Internet is a convenience that has made our lives easier, it has also opened the door in our lives to a vulnerability that is rapidly being exploited by cyber criminals. Cyber crimes are growing at an exponential rate in the United States and we, the consumers/end users are unaware of the liabilities a simple click on the wrong button can cause. This paper will

The Internet is undoubtedly one of the most provocative sociological and psychological phenomena. Often the Internet says that it links all those fallen communicators who cannot cope in the real world. Socializing and surfing online space does not pass without leaving a trace. Each user provides information about themselves, sometimes as a condition to be able to access the required application, when consciously accedes to it, sometimes exchanging information with other members of the network, unaware that the network "remembers everything", that data remains deposited even when its removed profile. However, more often we are faced with data theft and identity by criminal hacker groups. Cyber security is a challenge that will have to be resolved

As the world has come into the 21st century, there is one prominent and constant fact - everyone is on the internet. Whether willingly or not, information like house addresses, social security numbers, and credit card numbers can be put out and obtained through the internet. It is unusual for a business, even an individual person, to not have a website. Knowing the types of threats that are out there is the first step to implementing protection measures. While there are many types of well-known threats in existence, there are even more types of common, yet less well-known threats out there.

We are a generation that has evolved with the internet and we have seen the issues its growth has caused. It’s hard to imagine a world without smartphones, the internet, and big companies like Google or Apple anymore because we are so connected with them. But there’s a real risk when we are so dependent on them, because simply using these products requires a lot of trust. Many people may think an internet attack will never happen to them, but too many incidents have occurred for this notion to

As I write this paper, I notice how my life is entirely dependent on the internet. I am writing this paper on Google Docs, on a chromebook, while I stream music online, check facebook every ten minutes, and even pay my bills online. Internet has taken the world by storm. The internet, which celebrated its 25th century in 2014, started as an idea in 1961. However, the internet as we know it, started with the development of HTML by Tim Berners-Lee in 1990.

The Internet plays critical roles in the fabric of today 's society, and people use their computers and mobile devices for business, social contact, recreation playing games and many other activities. However, everyone faces cyber crime risks when using their computersm and these perils range from phishing to investment fraud. People use their computing devices to work, buy products and services and store vital personal information. Unfortunately, everything that you read and view on the screen isn 't always what it appears. Crooks and con artists have always come up with creative ways to steal personal information, trick people out of their money and valuables and promote questionable practices such as pyramid schemes. Digital communications and the Internet have increased access to information for everyone, but easy access empowers criminals who can work in relative anonymity to commit their cyber crimes.

In 2013, 50 major global organizations reported that 63,437 security incidents and 1,367 confirmed security breaches had significantly impacted their business. [cite] Even more staggering, over 100 million Americans—that 's 1 out of 3 citizens—had their credit or debit card information pilfered by hackers over the course of 4 data breaches between 2013 and 2014 [cite], with confirmed evidence that breaches of this type are increasing. These statistics show that there are serious problems now existing in the realm of information security and the internet. However, it is undeniable that society today is largely dependent upon the technology that handles our information along with many facets of society such as social media that would leave us completely non-functional without technology. Consequently, there is an ongoing debate about the issues of information security and how to solve them. Some people believe it is the simple matter of installing security programs on their devices, or using a network that its proponents have labeled it as 'ultra-secure ' to solve the problem. On the other hand, others believe that these are information security issues that, given technology today and in the future, will never have a permanent solution.

Did you know that from 2005-2009 the internet scams rose from 100,000 per year to nearly 300, 000 per year (Internet Scam Statistics). From 2010- 2012 it continues to rise beyond 350,000 per year, with a monetary loss of over $300 million per year.

The internet has become a part of every day life, in fact for many it is their life. You can meet other people, play games, do research, communicate with loved ones half way across the country, and now you can even shop and bank online.

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,
