Let’s Explore and Discover

Unlocking of Difficulties
Digital Divide refers to the gap between individuals who have access
to modern information and communication technology and those who lack
access.

Information and Communications Technology (ICT) plays a crucial role

in the development of our society. It gives convenient access to every part of
the world in different settings. It is the era of what we are living now and the
thing that will be harder to live without. ICT gives a tremendous advantage of
saving time and effort, especially in times of crisis like a pandemic. People
nowadays are shifting and upgrading their skills in ICT because they see it as
an opportunity to grow and to cope up with the innovations, so they
won’t be left behind.

Information and Communications Technology (ICT) has an immense

impact on humanity. It covers all developing sectors to improve their service,
lifestyle, and as the basis of economic growth. However, these impacts may
seem to have both advantages and disadvantages despite its progress.

Most Common Internet Cybercrimes

1. Phishing/Spoofing – the act of sending multiple emails to multiple users

in hopes of having several of them clicking on the links or malwares attached
to the email.
2. Blackmail/Extortion – the act of using the Internet to threaten or damage
someone’s reputation to extort money or anything else of value. This can be
avoided if you are aware of what you should post on the Internet.
3. Accessing Stored Communications – or hacking; the act of obtaining
unauthorized access to data from a computer network.
4. Sports Betting – the act of wagering on any sports event over the Internet.
In some countries, gambling (including sports betting) is illegal even if you are
doing it over the Internet.
5. Non-Delivery of Merchandise – the act of devising a scheme wherein a
culprit posts an item or service for sale over the Internet and once the
transactions have been done, does not really give the item or service.
6. Electronic Harassment – the act of anonymously using the Internet to
harass, abuse, threaten, or annoy other people.
7. Child Pornography – the act of using the Internet to show child
pornography. This act is highly punishable by law.
8. Drug Trafficking – the act of selling illegal substances using the Internet.
9. Criminal Copyright Infringement – the act of piracy mainly for financial
gain. In late 2014, the number one pirate website, ThePirateBay, was raided
for the second time due to years of pirating movies, music, games, books, and
other software. These kinds of websites earn money through advertising.

Combatting Cybercrimes
• Network Security. Before a hacker can get through the unauthorized
files he or she is targeting, the hacker has to get through several
security measures like firewalls, secure connections, passwords, anti-
malwares, and data encryptions.
• Investigation. URL tracing and logging are used by websites to track
your unique IP addresses. This can be used by investigators to trace
hackers. In piracy, trackers are used to identify IP addresses currently
sharing a pirated file.
• Penalties. More and more laws are being created and implemented
today. Penalties include both a fine and imprisonment.
