∗ Sale of duplications.
∗ Misusing the information stored on others
personal computer or website.
∗ Software piracy.
∗ Forgeries such as ID theft.
∗ Harmful software - attaches itself to other
software.
DISTRESS DUE TO SCAMS

 Irritation caused by unknown callers.

 Great loss in financial status of public.
 Future of teenagers being spoiled.
 Child pornography.
 Corrupting personal informations.
LACK OF CARE

 People doesn’t care

for couple of dollars.
 After being scammed
people doesn’t care.
 80 per cent of the
cyber crimes are not
reported.

INQUIRY METHODS

 Collection of data for evidentiary or

verification purpose.
 Computer files analysis.
 E-mail tracking and recovery.
 Detect and prevent intellectual property theft.
 Recovery of lost or deleted data.
 Detect sale and distribution of illegal products.
Detection with neural networks
NEURAL NETWORKS

As neural networks resembles human

brain, the neural fraud management
system is completely automated and
state-of-the-art integrated system of
neural networks helps in detecting the
scams.
STEPS INVOLVED

 Supervised clustering-uses a mix of traditional

clustering and multi-dimensional histogram
analysis with a discrete metric.
 Statistical analysis- it ranks important features
based on the joint distribution per transaction
pattern.
 AMS-automatic modeling system, chooses the
important inputs and symbols, train and create
clustering and neural network models.
BENEFITS
 Reduces loses due to fraud.
 Identify new fraud methods to reduce
fraud loses and minimize false positives.
 It can work in real time, online or batch
modes.
 Reinforce customer trust.
 Improves operational efficiencies.
STRUCTURED SETTLEMENT

A settlement in which the reward is

paid to the applicant over a course of time.
An annuity or government bond
generally guarantees structured
settlement. It needs approval from a
judge, coz of a recently enacted federal
law.
ADVANTAGE

Under structured settlement people get

money periodically. Structured settlement
funding has many advantages over other
mode of settlement in terms of managing
larger amounts of cash, tax exemption,
flexibility and stability.
DISADVANTAGE

Major disadvantage of structured

settlement funding are the high
commissions on the purchases by the
companies and in equal payments.
Inflation causes reduction in real value of
payments.
There are possibilities of getting cheated if
approached without a lawyer.
REDUCTION METHODS
 Never reveal personally – identifiable information online
 Never share your password with other people.
 Don’t believe everything you read or see online.
 Don’t respond to inappropriate messages or emails.
 Don’t use adult sites.
 Do not provide photocopies of both the sides of the
credit card to anyone.
 While using a credit card for making payments online,
check if the website is secure.
 Do not give any information to persons seeking credit
card information over phone.
CONCLUSION

Cyber crime is a crime that

ruins people financially, personally,
professionally often taking years to
recover from it unless we people are
aware of it.

“Let us take part in developing

our INDIA without crimes”
