Author : Mahesh Kumar Tiwari, Riya Yadav and Vishal Singh

Abstract :

Cybercrimes are classified as indictable crimes and misdemeanors that have to do with the common use of computers as targets or means of conduct, or that include the use of computers or communication technology as instruments. Common cybercrimes include the selling of drugs, data breaches, phishing, sexually explicit content, credit card fraud, identity theft, cyber laundering, cyber terrorism, and child pornography. As a result, this paper thoroughly examines methods for detecting and preventing cybercrime. It begins by looking at the many kinds of cybercrimes and talking about how they might jeopardize computer system security and privacy. The methods that cybercriminals could employ to carry out these crimes against people, institutions, and communities are then discussed. It critically examines each technique's weaknesses and highlights its advantages honestly. The study suggests practical steps to mitigate these risks, including employing advanced technology, informing customers of potential threats, and establishing robust cybersecurity measures. By integrating state-of-the-art advancements with awareness and education, the goal is to highlight the necessity of a comprehensive cybersecurity strategy that minimizes the impact of cybercrime.
