bandwidth, disk space, or processor time.
 Disruption of configuration information, such
as routing information.
 Disruption of state information, such as unsolicited

 Disruption of physical network components.
 Obstructing the communication media between the
intended users and the victim so that they can no

Software Piracy

 Theft of software occurs through the illegal copying of

Lottery Scam

A lottery scam is a type of advance-fee fraud which begins

with an unexpected email notification that "You have won!" a
large sum of money in a lottery.
The recipient of the message — the target of the scam — is
usually told to keep the notice secret, "due to a mix-up in some
of the names and numbers," and to contact a "claims agent.“
 After contacting the agent, the target of the scam
will be asked to pay "processing fees" or "transfer
charges" so that the winnings can be distributed,
but will never receive any lottery payment.
Scammer may also ask for pan card or credit card.
