WHO ARE THE COMPUTER CRIMINALS

The computer criminals are those who commit crimes not just only a crime but a serious crime like hacking in the private Websites!!.

The Objectives of Computer Criminals
-> Computer criminals have different objectives. An underground network of hackers helps pass along secrets of success; as with a jigsaw puzzle, a few isolated pieces joined together may produce a large effect. Others attack for curiosity, personal gain, or self-satisfaction. And still others enjoy causing chaos, loss, or harm. Criminals seldom change fields from arson, murder, or auto theft to computing; more often, criminals begin as computer professionals who engage in computer crime, finding the prospects and payoff good. Electronic spies and information brokers have begun to recognize that trading in companies' or individuals' secrets can be lucrative. A hacker wants a score, bragging rights. Organized crime wants a resource; they want to stay and extract profit from the system over time.

ZERO-DAY ATTACK

It is also known as a zero hour attackattackattack, takes advantage of computer vulnerabilities that do not currently have a solution. Typically, a software company will discover a bug or problem with a piece of software after it has been released and will offer a patch — another piece of software meant to fix the original issue. A zero day attackattackattack will take advantage of that problem before a patch has been created. It is named zero day because it occurs before the first day the vulnerability is known.
