With the advent of technology, usage of Internet and its applications have also increased by many
folds. In the present scenario, almost everything is getting digitalised. As every coin has two sides,
while providing various features and facilities, it has led to evolution of new frauds and cybercrime

activities.
A lot of Internet users don’t give much
importance to Internet security. They think that
their computers are imperceptible, but as soon
as they enter into this world of networking and

social media, the chances of getting trapped
and cheated also increase. The intrusion allows
thieves to steal private information such as files,
passwords, data and even sensitive financial
information.
While this is a danger to all individuals, it also poses a threat to private corporations, public institutions,
nation and governments around the world. As long as the exchange of information exists online, so

will the need for Internet security.
