CYBERCRIME

Computer crime, or cybercrime, is any

crime that involves A computer and A

the commission of A crime, or it may be
the target.

(2011) define Cybercrimes as: "Offences
that are committed against individuals or
groups of individuals with a criminal
motive

to

harm

the

reputation of the victim or cause

physical or mental harm, or loss, to the
victim directly or indirectly, using
modern telecommunication networks
such as Internet (Chat rooms, emails,
notice boards and groups) and mobile

COMBATING COMPUTER
CRIME

Cyberethics is the
philosophic study of
ethics pertaining to
computers,
encompassing user
behavior and what
computers are
programmed to do,
and how this affects
individuals and society.

CYBER ETHICS

CYBER ETHICS REFERS TO THE CODE OF

RESPONSIBLE BEHAVIOR ON THE INTERNET.

Responsible behavior on the Internet in many ways

aligns with acceptable behavior in everyday life, but
the consequences can be significantly different.

Cyberethics is distinct from cyberlaw. Laws are formal

written directives that apply to everyone, interpreted
by the judicial system, and enforced by the police.

Ethics is a broad philosophical concept that goes

beyond simple right and wrong, and looks towards
"the good life"

TEN COMMANDMENTS OF
