Cyber crime- impact of the internet crime

 Nowadays the internet is a tool which is used by almost all of humanity, most people use it doing no harm to others, but where the humanity goes, the crime follows. Many people perceive the internet as a mechanism to gain something from others not necessarily in a legal way. There are over 550 million victims of cyber crime every year witch gives us 1,5 million victims every day witch gives us more or less 18 victims of internet crime every second. 

Types of the most common internet crimes include:

• Cyberbullying and harassment
• Financial extortion
• Internet bomb threats
• Classified global security data theft
• Password trafficking
• Enterprise trade secret theft
• Personally data hacking
• Copyright violations, such as software piracy
• Counterfeit trademarks
• Illegal weapon trafficking
• Online child pornography
• Credit card theft and fraud
• Email phishing
• Domain name hijacking
• Virus spreading

These are only the most frequent types of internet crime, the complete list of illegal behaviors is much longer.

The impact of the internet crime became so big that the governments of different countries started to make certain regulations and so called "law rules" which were supposed to help people, but in fact they started to be one of the main discussion topics on the newspapers and TV because many people think (and so do I) that any government shouldn't interfere in the internet's structure, any regulations or restrictions would only erode the internet's freedom, any involvement of any government in the internet could mean opening a certain gate to manipulate information or launch censorship and such possibilities are just unacceptable even if that means that people will be defenseless against internet crime. So what should we do? Is there any way to stop this madness? I think that the only way to fight it is to learn what we should or shouldn't do while surfing in the internet, that we cannot trust every person or every webpage which we encountered,  that would help us to avoid certain unpleasantnesses in the future. The truth is that people always find a way to bypass the law and like I said earlier where is humanity there will always be the crime and people should never forget that.
