 Cybercrime is a criminal activity committed on the Internet. This is abroad term that describes everything from electric crucking to denial of service attacks that cause electronic commerce sites to lose money. Cybercrime can basically divided into 3 categories which are cybercrime against person, property and government.

 Cybercrimes against person: Cybercrimes committed against persons include various crimes like transmission of child-pornography, harassment of any one with the use of a computer such as e-mail. The trafficking, distribution, posting, and dissemination of obscene material including pornography and indecent exposure, constitutes one of the most important Cybercrimes known today. The potential harm of such a crime to humanity can hardly be amplified.

 Cybercrimes against property:The second category of Cyber-crimes is that of Cybercrimes against all forms of property. These crimes include computer vandalism (destruction of others' property), transmission of harmful programmes.

 Cybercrimes against government:The third category of Cyber-crimes relate to Cybercrimes against Government. Cyberterrorism is one distinct kind of crime in this category. The growth of internet has shown that the medium of Cyberspace is being used by individuals and groups to threaten the international governments as also to terrorise the citizens of a country. This crime manifests itself into terrorism when an individual "cracks" into a government or military maintained website.

 Coupled with this the actuality is that no computer system in the world is cracking proof. It is unanimously agreed that any and every system in the world can be cracked. The recent denial of service attacks seen over the popular commercial sites like E-bay, Yahoo, Amazon and others are a new category of Cyber-crimes which are slowly emerging as being extremely dangerous.

<span style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; font-size: 13.3333px;"> Another example wherein the damage was not done to a person but to the masses is the case of the Melissa virus. The Melissa virus first appeared on the internet in March of 1999. It spread rapidly throughout computer systems in the United States and Europe. It is estimated that the virus caused 80 million dollars in damages to computers worldwide.

<span style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; font-size: 13.3333px;"> In the United States alone, the virus made its way through 1.2 million computers in one-fifth of the country's largest businesses.

Various kinds of harassment can and do occur in cyberspace, or through the use of cyberspace. Harassment can be sexual, racial, religious, or other. Persons perpetuating such harassment are also guilty of cybercrimes. Cyberharassment as a crime also brings us to another related area of violation of privacy of citizens. Violation of privacy of online citizens is a Cybercrime of a grave nature. No one likes any other person invading the invaluable and extremely touchy area of his or her own privacy which the medium of internet grants to the citizen.

<span style="color: #74c001; font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; font-size: 18px;">Cybercrimes against property: <span style="font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; font-size: 13.3333px;">The second category of Cyber-crimes is that of Cybercrimes against all forms of property.

<span style="font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; font-size: 13.3333px;"> Cracking is amongst the gravest Cyber-crimes known till date. It is a dreadful feeling to know that a stranger has broken into your computer systems without your knowledge and consent and has tampered with precious confidential data and information.

<span style="font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; font-size: 13.3333px;"> Coupled with this the actuality is that no computer system in the world is cracking proof.
