Kyberkriminalita

Kyberkriminalita, or cybercrime, refers to criminal activities that involve computers, networks, or electronic devices. It encompasses a wide range of illegal activities carried out in cyberspace, including hacking, identity theft, online fraud, and the distribution of malware. Cybercriminals exploit vulnerabilities in computer systems and networks to gain unauthorized access, steal sensitive information, disrupt services, or extort money.

The term encompasses not only acts against individual users, but also offenses targeting organizations and governments. Common forms of cybercrime include phishing schemes, where attackers trick individuals into providing personal information, ransomware attacks that encrypt data and demand payment for decryption, and cyberbullying, where individuals use digital platforms to harass or intimidate others.

As technology evolves, cybercrime continues to pose significant threats globally, prompting ongoing developments in cybersecurity measures, law enforcement strategies, and legal frameworks to combat these activities.
