Nowadays, criminal not only happen on our real life as it also happen in a cyber-world. This type of criminal doesn’t need any guns or weapon to do damages. It only require a laptop, gadget and internet access. So simple right? In the world of cyber, there are many types of crime that can be done by anyone to the victim anonymously. Examples of cyber-crime are hacking, cyber bullying, stalking, phishing, identity theft, spam and etc.
