WHAT IS CYBERSECURITY?
✓ Cybersecurity is the practice of
protecting computer systems,
networks, and programs from digital
attacks, damage, or unauthorized
access.

✓ It involves implementing measures,


protocols, and technologies to ensure
the confidentiality, integrity, and
availability of information in the
digital realm. © ISACA

TYPES OF
CYBER CRIME
HACKING
Hacking refers to the unauthorized access,
manipulation, or exploitation of computer
systems, networks, or data usually in a large
organization such as the government.

White Hat Hacking: An ethical hacking where


individuals use their skills to find and fix security
vulnerabilities.
Black Hat Hacking: A darker side of hacking, involving
individuals or groups who exploit vulnerabilities for
malicious purposes.

PHISHING
Phishing is a digital version of fishing where
cybercriminals are attempting to lure people
into revealing sensitive information, such as
passwords or credit card numbers.

This can be done through deceptive emails or messages.

The attacker lures the recipient into clicking on a


link or attachment leading them to a fraudulent site
that captures their sensitive information.

DENIAL OF SERVICE
A Denial of Service (DoS) attack is a digital
traffic jam that disrupts the normal
functioning of a computer system, network, or
website.

In a DoS attack, the perpetrator overwhelms


the target with a flood of traffic, making it
unable to respond to legitimate requests.

SPAM EMAIL
Spam emails are unsolicited and often
irrelevant messages sent in bulk to a large
number of recipients.

The goal of spam emails can vary—from


promoting products and services to spreading
malware or phishing for sensitive information.

MALWARES
Malware, a.k.a malicious software, is a
broad term that encompasses various
types of harmful software designed to
disrupt, damage, or gain unauthorized
access to computer systems.

E.g. viruses, worms, trojans,


ransomware, spyware
TYPES OF MALWARES
Viruses: These attach themselves to
clean files and spread when the infected
file is executed.

Worms: Self-replicating and capable of


spreading across networks without human
intervention.
TYPES OF MALWARES
Trojans: Disguised as legitimate
software, Trojans deceive users into
installing them, allowing malicious
activities.

Ransomware: Encrypts files on a user's


system, demanding payment (often in
cryptocurrency) for their release.
TYPES OF MALWARES
Spyware: Stealthily monitors and
collects information about a user's
activities without their knowledge.

Adware: Bombards endless ads and pop-up


windows that could potentially be
dangerous for your device.
ATM SKIMMING
ATM skimming involves installing a small
device, called a skimmer, on an ATM to
secretly collect data from the magnetic
stripe of debit or credit cards.

ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE

Artificial Intelligence is the simulation of


human intelligence processes by machines,
especially computer systems.

a) Narrow AI (Weak AI): Designed for a particular


task (e.g., virtual assistants).
b) General AI (Strong AI): Capable of
understanding, learning, and performing any
intellectual task that a human can.
