Cyber Crime is crime on the internet, mobile phones or other kinds of software. It can be a serious offence, and can end up getting people killed. People don't seem to understand the consequences of this matter, whom are the people who are most likely targeted. This site is going to help you understand the causes and how to keep safe.
What Happens?
All types Cyber Crime can be very hurtful. Hacking is one of the most common types. It allows someone/something to hack into files, personal memories, and delete them or use them for identity to commit crimes and get you into serious trouble. This is why you MUST stay away from ANY kinds of Chat Robots. They are known to steal personal files. Hacking can also help the person/thing create a virus, which can damage your computer. Cyber Bullying is a very serious offence. This can be caused by some unknown person finding out your phone number, or email address. This can be very serious, and is one of those events in which someone could get killed. Even leaving nasty comments in Guestbooks is a sign of bullying. Chatrooms and Online Dating can be serious too. Chatting to people can be fun, but there are sick men, who wish to kidnap children and teenagers, and, well, anything can happen. Strangers asking you to meet up somewhere and you don't know who they are, and then you go off, then, you know.... Personal Information, if used carelessly, can become serious. By putting pictures of yourself on websites and phone numbers ect., people can find out where you live and track you down. If you put down your school and put a picture of you on your or a site, strangers can wait outside your school gates until you come out, and kidnap you.
Also, you MUST ALWAYS ask your friends BEFORE putting photos and info about them on your site, othrwise you can get them in danger aswell.
