Hacking
Hacking can take several forms:
Accessing - entering a network, or a page, which is intended to be private
Defacing – changing the content of another person’s Web site.
Hijacking – redirecting elsewhere anyone trying to access a particular Web site
Bombing – overwhelming a site with countless messages to slow down or even crash the server
Denial of service – running a program which sends thousands of requests to a site simultaneously, frequently from more than one source, so that the relevant server slows down considerably or preferably (from the point of view of the hacker) crashes.
Viruses
Viruses, in the broadest sense, come in three forms:
Virus: This is a code that attaches itself to a program in a computer and then reproduces itself. It can erase files or lock up a system.
Worm: This is similar to a virus but does not attach itself to files or programs in a computer. This leaves it free to spread through a network on its own.
Trojan horse: This is a program that performs malicious actions while pretending to do something else. It is similar to a virus but does not try to reproduce itself.
Pirating
Illegal Trading
