• Step 2: They seek children/teens in the kids’ areas on the services, such as the Games BB
or chat areas where the children gather.
• Step 3: They befriend children/teens.
• Step 4: They extract personal information from the child/teen by winning his/her

house and then drag him/her into the net to further sexually assault him/her or to use
him/her as a sex object.

Software Piracy - “The Biggest” challenge area.
Software piracy is “theft of software through the illegal copying of genuine

programs or the fake program and distribution of products intended to pass for
the original”.
Disadvantage of piracy
• The software, if pirated, may potentially contain hard-drive infection virus.
• There is no technical support in the case of software failure.
• There is no warranty protection
• There is no legal right to use the product.
According to BSA in Asia pacific 55%

of software installed are illegal
• Credit Card Fraud
Property • Intellectual Property Crimes

• Internet Time Theft

Cyber Crime : Global Perspective
Cybercrime at an international level as per the Council of
Europe’s (CoE’s) Cyber Crime Treaty:
“Cybercrime is an umbrella term which refers to an array of
criminal activity including offenses against computer data and
systems, computer-related offenses, content offenses and
copyright offenses”.
1. August 4, 2006 Announcement: The US Senate ratifies CoE Convention on Cyber Crime. The convention
targets hackers, those spreading destructive computer viruses, those using the Internet for the sexual
exploitation of children or the distribution of racist material, and terrorists attempting to attack
infrastructure facilities or financial institutions. The Convention is in full accord with all the US
constitutional protections, such as free speech and other civil liberties, and will require no change to the
US laws.
2. In August 18, 2006: News article published “ISPs Wary About ‘Drastic Obligations’ on Web Site
Blocking.” European Union (EU) officials want to debar suspicious websites as part of a 6-point plan to
boost joint antiterrorism activities. They want to block websites that incite terrorist action. Once again it
is underlined that monitoring calls, Internet and E-Mail traffic for law enforcement purposes is a task
vested in the government, which must reimburse carriers and providers for retaining the data.
3. CoE Cyber Crime Convention (1997–2001) : First international treaty seeking to address Internet crimes
by harmonizing national laws, improving investigative techniques and increasing cooperation among
nations. More than 40 countries have ratified the Convention to date.
