    Norton classifies cyber crimes into two types. Type I crimes are generally single events where the victim downloads malware like Trojans or receives phishing emails. These crimes often use crimeware and exploit software vulnerabilities. Type II crimes involve ongoing interactions with targets, like cyberstalking or corporate espionage. These crimes do not usually use crimeware but instead facilitate activities through programs like instant messaging or file transfer protocols.

    Characteristics of Cyber Crime

    Norton classifies cyber crime into two groups as well as list their
    characteristics:
    Type I cybercrime has the following characteristics:

    It is generally a single event from the perspective of the victim. For


    example, the victim unknowingly downloads a Trojan horse which
    installs a keystroke logger on his or her machine. Alternatively, the
    victim might receive an e-mail containing what claims to be a link to
    known entity, but in reality is a link to a hostile website.

    It is often facilitated by crimeware programs such as keystroke


    loggers, viruses, rootkits or Trojan horses.

    Software flaws or vulnerabilities often provide the foothold for the


    attacker. For example, criminals controlling a website may take
    advantage of a vulnerability in a Web browser to place a Trojan horse
    on the victim's computer.

    Examples of this type of cybercrime include but are not limited to phishing,
    theft or manipulation of data or services via hacking or viruses, identity
    theft, and bank or e-commerce fraud.
    Type II cybercrime, at the other end of the spectrum, includes, but is not
    limited to activities such as cyberstalking and harassment, child predation,
    extortion, blackmail, stock market manipulation, complex corporate
    espionage, and planning or carrying out terrorist activities. The
    characteristics of Type II cybercrime are:

    It is generally an on-going series of events, involving repeated


    interactions with the target. For example, the target is contacted in a
    chat room by someone who, over time, attempts to establish a
    relationship. Eventually, the criminal exploits the relationship to
    commit a crime. Or, members of a terrorist cell or criminal
    organization may use hidden messages to communicate in a public
    forum to plan activities or discuss money laundering locations, for
    example.

    It is generally facilitated by programs that do not fit into under the


    classification crimeware. For example, conversations may take place
    using IM (instant messaging) clients or files may be transferred using
    FTP.
