You could be a student, a housewife, a schoolgirl, a working woman, a businessman, a middle-class salaried employee, or a professional—all of you could easily become victims of cyber crime. The moment you connect your computer to the Internet it becomes a potential target for cyber criminals. In the last quarter of 2012, cyber criminals cheated people of Rs. 948.64 lakh in credit card frauds alone, not to speak of other cyber crimes! Cyber criminals across the world loot 105 billion dollars every year from business houses—more than the value of the illegal drug trade worldwide!
This is the first comprehensive coverage of the subject in the world, ranging from cyber crimes like cyber pornography, harassment through emails, email spoofing, SMS spoofing, credit card frauds, phishing, Internet/online frauds, and staying safe on social networking sites like the Facebook to data theft. The book describes the tools of the cyber criminals including computer viruses, worms, Trojan horses, rootkits, spyware and other malware and then discusses cyber forensics and other techniques which catch the cyber criminals.
Cyber crime is flourishing because there is widespread ignorance about it—including most police officers and even lawyers. Hence it is vital for everybody to be educated about both cyber crimes and their investigation. Unless you empower yourself by knowing this, you would continue to suffer in silence. Hence this book. Hitherto, the books on the subject had made it appear both unnecessarily complex and intimidating. This is the very first lucid exposition in the world that will make you really understand the subject of cyber crime and cyber forensics.
