CYBERCRIME!


What is cybercrime? It can be defined as any criminal acts using computers, networks and Internet. One of the challenges of social networking site is users are exposed to be a victim of cybercriminals (the person who did the cybercrime.) WHY?
The reason is; many users of social networking sites do not realize that whenever they reveal their personal information, not only their friends are able to see but strangers also might get the information freely! Using these information, cybercriminals can use it for their own advantage such as hacking and spreading viruses.
Uploading photos for public view is also a common thing nowadays. As a cybercriminals, they see this as an opportunity for them. This is because; they can take the photos and edit (super impose) for humiliating purpose.
