Just as there are many different types of crime that can occur in “real life,” there are many different types of crime that can occur online. Define at least one type of information theft that can occur online and describe how it works. Define at least one type of cyber bullying and explain why it is a problem for the victim. Explain why both types of crime make the Internet a more difficult place to navigate.

Answer:

One type of identity theft.

"...Medical identity theft

Medical identity theft is when a criminal poses as another person to obtain health care services. In fact, fraudsters may use your name and insurance information to:

Get prescriptions for drugs.

Access medical services, from checkups to costly surgeries.

Obtain medical devices and supplies, such as wheelchairs or hearing aids.

This can result in you having bills for prescriptions, services, or devices you didn’t need, ask for, or even receive. Your health care and insurance records may even have these things added to them. An inaccurate medical record can make it harder for you to get the care you need in the future and even impact insurance coverage."

One type of cyberbullying is doxing, it's a problem as it shares personal information all over the internet like your house address or your school's name. It can also, ruins one reputation.

It makes the internet more difficult to navigate as it makes it difficult to trust anyone and you have to be prepared or be secured to be on it. One wrong move on the internet can basically ruin your life.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hope this helps!

What is Cyber crime?

Cyber crime is defined as a crime where a computer is the object of the crime or is used as a tool to commit an offense. A cyber criminal may use a device to access a user’s personal information, confidential business information, government information, or disable a device. It is also a cyber crime to sell or elicit the above information online.

There are three major categories that cyber crime falls into: individual, property and government. The types of methods used and difficulty levels vary depending on the category.

Property: This is similar to a real-life instance of a criminal illegally possessing an individual’s bank or credit card details. The hacker steals a person’s bank details to gain access to funds, make purchases online or run phishing scams to get people to give away their information. They could also use a malicious software to gain access to a web page with confidential information.

Individual: This category of cyber crime involves one individual distributing malicious or illegal information online. This can include cyber stalking, distributing inappropriate content and trafficking.

Government: This is the least common cyber crime, but is the most serious offense. A crime against the government is also known as cyber terrorism. Government cyber crime includes hacking government websites, military websites or distributing propaganda. These criminals are usually terrorists or enemy governments of other nations.
