DEFINITION

Cybercrime, also called computer crime, is any illegal activity that involves a computer or network-
connected device, such as a mobile phone. The Department of Justice divides cybercrime into three
categories: crimes in which the computing device is the target, for example, to gain network access;
crimes in which the computer is used as a weapon, for example, to launch a denial of service (DoS)
attack; and crimes in which the computer is used as an accessory to a crime, for example, using a
computer to store illegally-obtained data.

LAW

REPUBLIC ACT NO. 10175

AN ACT DEFINING CYBERCRIME, PROVIDING FOR THE PREVENTION, INVESTIGATION, SUPPRESSION AND
THE IMPOSITION OF PENALTIES THEREFOR AND FOR OTHER PURPOSES

HOW COMMITTED

Most cyber crimes are committed by individuals or small groups. However, large organized crime groups
also take advantage of the Internet. These "professional" criminals find new ways to commit old crimes,
treating cyber crime like a business and forming global criminal communities.

Criminal communities share strategies and tools and can combine forces to launch coordinated attacks.
They even have an underground marketplace where cyber criminals can buy and sell stolen information
and identities.

It's very difficult to crack down on cyber criminals because the Internet makes it easier for people to do
things anonymously and from any location on the globe. Many computers used in cyber attacks have
actually been hacked and are being controlled by someone far away. Crime laws are different in every
country too, which can make things really complicated when a criminal launches an attack in another
country.

HOW IT AFFECT THE COUNTRIES

-----------------------------------
HOW IT AFFECT THE ECONOMY
Even a single cyber attack can have a significant economic impact, he said, such as the attack on US
retailer Target in 2013, which affected 40 million credit and debit cards.
Up to three million of the payment card details were believed to have been sold on the black market
and used for fraud before issuing banks cancelled the rest.
Cyber crime is also increasingly affecting individuals whose bank accounts are raided, as banking
institutions begin to take a harder line about what losses they will and will not cover.
