What is Cybersecurity?

Cybersecurity involves protecting systems and networks from digital


attacks.
Protects against identity theft, data breaches, and operational
disruptions.
Hackers can exploit vulnerabilities in systems to cause significant
harm.

Causes of Concern:

Growing cybercrime with technological advancement.


Lack of awareness leads to:
▶ Identity theft.
▶ Financial loss.
▶ Legal consequences.
Cybercrime is massively underreported.

Common Causes of Cyber Attacks:

Lack of Awareness.
Weak passwords and stolen credentials.
Unpatched vulnerabilities and no antivirus.
Misconfigured systems with open network ports.
Social engineering attacks like phishing.

Types of Cyber Attacks:

Malware: Viruses, worms, and Trojans.


Phishing: Tricking users into revealing sensitive data.
Ransomware: Encrypts data and demands a ransom eg : WannaCry
ransomware.
Spoofing: Faking identity to gain unauthorized access.
Man-in-the-middle(MITM): Allows an attacker to eavesdrop on
data sent between two people, networks, or computers on wifi.

What is Cybercrime?

Cybercrime is criminal activity that either targets or uses a computer,


a computer network or a networked device.

Categories of cybercrime?

computer e.g. Hacking, Virus/Worms attacks, DoS attack etc.
The computer as a weapon: Using a computer to commit real
world crime e.g. credit card fraud etc.

Precautions for Cyber Crime:

Password Protection: Use complex passwords with a mix of letters,


numbers, and symbols.
System Protection: Install antivirus, enable firewalls, and keep
software up-to-date.
Data Protection: Backup important data regularly.
Update your software: Keep your operating system and applications
up to date, and turn on automatic updates if available.
Don’t share personal information: Don’t share passwords or OTPs
through email, chat, or other electronic communication.

Project : Pdf Virus Detector Tool

The ”PDF Virus Detection System” is a web-based tool developed to


detect potential viruses within PDF files using a predefined virus
signature database.
The goal of this project is to build a system that allows users to
upload PDF files and check for known virus signatures.
”Email is the most common method for cyber attacks, with 90–96%
of phishing attacks and malware delivered via email:
▶ Phishing attacks: 96% of phishing attacks are delivered via email.
▶ Malware: 94% of malware is delivered by email.
▶ Cyber attacks: 90% of cybersecurity attacks start with a simple email.
