[Day 10] 3. Unauthorized Activity & Cyber Crime

• Unauthorized Activity:
  Generally related to organizations. For example, accessing Facebook without permission (using organization's internet) is a breach of policy, not necessarily a crime.

• Crime:
  Any action that breaks a law is considered a crime.

What is Cyber/Digital Crime?

Cyber/Digital Crime refers to any criminal activity that involves a computer in one of the following ways:

1. As an instrument or tool to commit the crime.
2. As the target of the crime (e.g., hacking into a system).
3. As a means/incidental to committing the crime (e.g., using a computer to plan or execute illegal activities).

Legal Framework

• Law is supreme:
  No one is above the law, not even the Prime Minister or President.
  Everyone must abide by the law.

• Three Pillars of Law Enforcement:

  1. Governance
  2. Law Enforcement Agencies
  3. Judiciary System

If any of these pillars fail, citizens of the country are affected.
