Abstract

Cyber world is the area of interconnected computer networks in the cyber space. In such a cyber world the
security of data and information is essential, such a way the safeguarding of information and data available
physical or virtual which deals with the cyber space is called as cyber security. Cyber security involves
safeguard of information from intruders like hackers and crackers. Hackers and crackers are the unauthorised
intruders into the data. There are many categories of hackers depending on their effect on others and their
intention of hacking. Other than hacking there are other cyber problems like identity theft where one changes
his/her identity as another person in order to earn or escape from criminal records. Some other issues are the
anonymous ransom ware issues in which a virus is spread into a system through messages and it blocks the files
to be accessed by the owner itself. Such hackers then demand for money in the form of bit-coins to provide the
owners with the key to get accessed with the files again
