Abstract

Crimes have many faces, and with technology coming into play, this has been more refined and challenging. The modern world is evolving so rapidly, and new developments ease our lives, but they also pose problems. A website serves as a more admired platform for the user to access various web apps. The Internet is clearly a valuable resource for young people, but they may also pose serious difficulties. It is quite simple to create a phoney website that seems to be the genuine website where hackers operate.

In the said article, the authors have tried to study the types of online frauds and how they have come up a long way and resulted in the massive financial crimes.
