Cybercrime is a type of crime that involves the use of technology to commit illegal activities such as hacking, identity theft, fraud, phishing, and the distribution of malware. This form of crime is becoming increasingly prevalent in our digital society, as criminals take advantage of the anonymity and global reach of the internet to carry out their illicit activities. Cybercrime poses significant risks to individuals, businesses, and governments, leading to financial losses, privacy breaches, and disruption of essential services. Researchers in the field of cybercrime study the causes, motivations, techniques, and impacts of cybercriminal activities, as well as develop strategies and technologies to prevent and mitigate these threats.
