👉 Computing crimes, also known as cybercrimes, encompass a wide range of illegal activities conducted using computers, networks, and digital technologies. These crimes include hacking, identity theft, phishing, malware distribution, ransomware attacks, online fraud, and cyberbullying. Cybercriminals exploit vulnerabilities in software, networks, and human behavior to steal data, disrupt services, or cause financial harm. The anonymity provided by the internet and the global nature of digital platforms make these crimes particularly challenging to detect, investigate, and prosecute, often requiring specialized expertise in cybersecurity and law enforcement.
