THE INTERNET
Operating system (OS)
The other programs are called applications or application programs. The application programs make use of the operating system by making request for services through a defined application program interface
In addition, through a user interface such as a command line or a graphical user interface (GUI).
SOFTWARE
Internet/web threats
- A crime committed or assisted through the use of internet.
Most cybercrimes are committed by individuals or small groups. However, large organized crime groups also take advantage of the Internet. These "professional" criminals find new ways to commit old crimes, treating cybercrime like a business and forming global criminal communities.
- Malware short for malicious malware, is an umbrella term use to refer to a variety forms of hostile or intrusive software.
A computer worm is a standalone malware computer program that replicates itself in order to spread to other computers. Often, it uses a computer network to spread itself, relying on security failures on the target computer to access it. Worms almost always cause at least some harm to the network, even if only by consuming bandwidth, whereas viruses almost always corrupt or modify files on a targeted computer.
Spyware is a type of malware that is installed on a computer without the knowledge of the owner in order to collect the owner’s private information. Spyware is often hidden from the user in order to gather information about internet interaction, keystrokes (also known as key logging), passwords, and other valuable data.
Electronic spamming is the use of electronic messaging systems to send an unsolicited message (spam) especially advertising, as well as sending messages repeatedly on the same site.
Phishing
Is the attempt to obtain sensitive information such as usernames, passwords, and credit card details (and money), often for malicious reasons, buy disguising as a trustworthy entity in a electronic communication.

The internet, sometimes called simply ‘the Net’ is a worldwide system of computer networks –a network of networks in which users at any one computer can, if they have permission get from any other computer (and sometimes directly to users at other computers)
A global computer network providing a variety of information and communication facilities, consisting of interconnected networks using standardized communication protocols.
Operating system (OS)
An operating system or (OS) is the program that, after being initially loaded into the computer by a boot program manages at the other program of the computer.
The other programs are called applications or application programs. The application programs make use of the operating system by making request for services through a defined application program interface
(API).
In addition, through a user interface such as a command line or a graphical user interface (GUI).
SOFTWARE
Computer software Is a part of computer system that consists of data or computer instructions, in contrast to the physical hardware from which the system is built.
Computer software includes computer program, libraries and related non-executable data such as online documentation or digital media. Computer hardware and software required each other and neither can be realistically used on its own.
Computer software, or simply software, is a collection of data or computer instructions that tell the computer how to work. This is in contrast to physical hardware, from which the system is built and actually performs the work.
Internet/web threats
A web threat is any threat that uses the world wide web to facilitate cyber crime. Web threats use multiple types of malware and fraud, all of each utilize HTTP or HTTPS protocols but may also employ other protocols and components, such as links in email or IM or malware attachments or on servers that access the web.
Web threats pose a broad range of risks, including financial damage, identity theft, loss of confidential information/data, theft of network resources, damaged brand/personal reputation and erosion of consumer confidence in e-commerce and online banking.
CYBERCRIME
- A crime committed or assisted through the use of internet.Most cybercrimes are committed by individuals or small groups. However, large organized crime groups also take advantage of the Internet. These "professional" criminals find new ways to commit old crimes, treating cybercrime like a business and forming global criminal communities.
As Dr. Michael McGuire said, cyber crime has evolved into an entire economy rife with professionalization and filled with parallels to legitimate industries. “The emergence of a complex and multi-layered cyber crime economy has also begun to suggest a fundamental shift in the very nature of crime itself. In this context, overt acts of crime become less central features of the criminal ecosystem when compared to the services and platforms that feed off and support crime – which become increasingly low-investment, high-yield and low-risk operations.”
MALWARE
- Malware short for malicious malware, is an umbrella term use to refer to a variety forms of hostile or intrusive software.
Kinds of MALWARE
1. Computer Virus
A computer virus is a type of malicious software program(malware) that, when executed, replicates itself by modifying other computer and inserting its own code. Infected computers programs can include as well data files or the ‘boot’ sector of the hard drive.
"ILOVEYOU" Computer Virus
ILOVEYOU, sometimes referred to as Love Bug or Love Letter, was a computer worm that attacked tens of millions of Windows personal computers on and after 5 May 2000, local time in the Philippines when it started spreading as an email message with the subject line "ILOVEYOU" and the attachment "LOVE-LETTER-FOR-YOU.txt.vbs". The latter file extension ('vbs', a type of interpreted file) was most often hidden by default on Windows computers of the time (as it is an extension for a file type that is known by Windows), leading unwitting users to think it was a normal text file.
Opening the attachment activated the Visual Basic script. The worm did damage on the local machine, overwriting random types of files (including Office files, image files, and audio files; however after overwriting MP3 files the virus would hide the file), and sent a copy of itself to all addresses in the Windows Address Book used by Microsoft Outlook. In contrast, the Melissa virus only sent copies to the first 50 contacts. This made it spread much faster than any other previous email worm.
Viruses can be spread through:
Email
Social networks
Text messages
Internet downloads
2. Computer worm
Many worms that have been created are designed only to spread and do not attempt to change the systems they pass through. However, as the Morris worm and Mydoom showed, even these ‘payload-free’ worms can cause major disruption by increasing network traffic and other unintended effects.
3. Computer Trojan
Trojan horse, or Trojan, is any malicious computer program which misleads users of its true intent. The term is derived from the Ancient Greed story of the deceptive wooden horse that led to the fall of the city of Troy.

4. Computer Spyware
Spyware is a type of malware that is installed on a computer without the knowledge of the owner in order to collect the owner’s private information. Spyware is often hidden from the user in order to gather information about internet interaction, keystrokes (also known as key logging), passwords, and other valuable data.
5. Adware
The term adware is frequently used to describe a form of malware (malicious software) which presents unwanted advertisements to the user of a computer.
SPAM
Electronic spamming is the use of electronic messaging systems to send an unsolicited message (spam) especially advertising, as well as sending messages repeatedly on the same site.
It is named after the Spam, a luncheon meat, by way of a Monty Python sketch about a restaurant that has spam in every dish and where patrons annoyingly shout spam over and over again. Junk email.
Phishing
Is the attempt to obtain sensitive information such as usernames, passwords, and credit card details (and money), often for malicious reasons, buy disguising as a trustworthy entity in a electronic communication.
