Abstract
Cybercrime is an ever-evolving phenomenon that is difficult to understand. Cyber criminals are growing more and more skilled, and they're now going after individuals as well as businesses and government agencies. As a result, additional defences are necessary. Since businesses began using computers to conduct business, cybercrime has grown in complexity and cost. The Parliament attack is one of several cybercrime case studies. Cybercrime and cyber security have been explored in this paper, along with various cybercrime prevention and detection strategies, such as Tripwires, Honey Pots and anomaly detection systems on the operating system. This research includes discusses legislation enacted to combat cybercrime, as well as suggestions for staying secure when surfing the web. Child pornography, stalking, identity theft, cyber laundering, credit card theft, cyber terrorism, drug selling, data leakage, phishing, and other cyber hacking are all examples of common cybercrimes. In most cases, these types of cybercrimes result in user privacy breaches, security breaches, corporate losses, financial fraud, or damage to public and government property. As a result, this study examines in-depth how to detect and prevent cybercrime. After examining the many sorts of cybercrime, it explains how they might compromise computer systems' privacy and security. Cybercriminals may use various tactics to perpetrate these crimes against persons, organisations, and society. After that, the study goes on the current methods for detecting and preventing cybercrime. It analyses the advantages and disadvantages of each technique objectively. According to the paper's recommendations, cybercrime detection models should be developed that are more effective than the current methodologies.
