Cybercrime

Cybercrime refers to any crime that is committed through the use of a computer. The crime may be intended at the user or may be committed by the user. Cybercrime is a blanket term used to describe many crimes that occur as a result of Internet use. A user may unknowingly download a Trojan while downloading a new song from a file sharing program. The Trojan may log your keystrokes and send the sensitive information off to be exploited. Cybercrime can be the result of a virus infiltration or spyware infection.
