Computer crime, often known as cybercrime, is any crime that includes a computer and a network.
The computer might have been used to commit a crime, or it could be the target. Debarati Halder and K. Jaishankar define cybercrime as "offences committed against individuals or groups of individuals with a criminal motive to intentionally harm the victim's reputation or cause physical or mental harm, or loss, to the victim directly or indirectly, using modern telecommunication networks such as the Internet (Chat rooms, emails, notice boards and groups) and mobile phones (SMS/MMS)". Such acts may jeopardise a country's security and financial health.

The Truth About Cyber Laws and Why You Should Care
There are additional privacy concerns when sensitive material is intercepted or shared, whether properly or illegally. Debarati Halder and K. Jaishankar defined cybercrime from the perspective of gender. They defined 'cybercrime against women' as "Crimes targeted against women with a motive to intentionally harm the victim psychologically and physically, using modern telecommunication networks such as internet and mobile phones". Internationally, both state and non-state entities are involved in cybercrime, which includes espionage, money theft, and other cross-border crimes. Cyberwarfare refers to activity that crosses international boundaries and involves the interests of at least one nation-state. The International Criminal Court is an effort by the international legal system to make actors responsible for their acts.
Most indicators suggest that the issue of cybercrime is becoming worse. However, Eric Jardine contends that cybercrime's incidence, cost, and severity cannot be adequately comprehended as absolute statistics. Instead, these figures must be normalised to the expanding scale of cyberspace, much as crime statistics in the real world are reported as a percentage of a population (i.e., 1.5 murders per 100,000 people). Jardine contends that, since cyberspace is continually expanding each year, absolute statistics (for example, a tally of 100,000 cyberattacks in 2015) provide a worse picture of cyberspace security than numbers normalised around the real size of the Internet ecosystem (i.e., a rate of cybercrime). His stated hypothesis is that if cyberspace continues to develop, you can anticipate cybercrime counts to rise since there are more users and activity online. Still, that crime may become less of an issue as a fraction of the ecosystem's size.
