CYBER CRIME

Image
  What is cybercrime? Cybercrime is any criminal activity that involves a computer, networked device or a network. While most cybercrimes are carried out in order to generate profit for the cybercriminals, some cybercrimes are carried out against computers or devices directly to damage or disable them. Others use computers or networks to spread  malware , illegal information, images or other materials. Some cybercrimes do both -- i.e., target computers to infect them with a computer virus, which is then spread to other machines and, sometimes, entire networks. A primary effect of cybercrime is financial. Cybercrime can include many different types of profit-driven criminal activity, including  ransomware  attacks, email and internet fraud, and identity fraud, as well as attempts to steal financial account, credit card or other payment card information.

How did he attain this place at the top of the world? At cloud nine?

FAKE LIFE

   Social media isn’t normal Everybody wants to be popular, or at least, to be accepted by others. Humans are social beings, and it has always been important evolutionarily speaking for us to not be cast aside by the group. But this usually consisted of a small tribe or group. It certainly has never been normal for humans to seek approval from thousands or millions of people, but that’s exactly what is happening with social media. While it’s normal to seek opinions from your close tribe or family, it’s not normal to seek approval and opinions from strangers in bulk. And this can lead to some seriously odd consequences. When you hear stories about people risking their lives leaning out of train windows on an overpass for the perfect Instagram shot, you know things have become really bizarre. People have become obsessed with seeking approval from millions of strangers, and this has led to, you guessed it, people creating an incredibly fake persona.
