n 1: crime committed using a computer and the internet to steal
a person's identity or sell contraband or stalk victims or
disrupt operations with malevolent programs |
cybercrime
(foldoc) | cybercrime
Any of a broad range of activities that use
computers or networks to commit illegal acts, including theft of
personal data, phishing, distribution of malware,
copyright infringement, denial of service attacks,
cyberstalking, bullying, online harassment, child
pornography, child predation, stock market manipulation and
corporate espionage.
For example, a vulnerability in a victim's web browser might
result in him unknowingly downloading a Trojan horse virus,
which installs a keystroke logger on his computer, which allows
the cracker to steal private data such as Internet banking or
e-mail passwords.
The degree to which an activity counts as "cybercrime" rather than
just "crime" depends on whether they could exist without computers
or networks.

cybercrime as a service
(foldoc) | cybercrime as a service
(CaaS) A kind of software as a service
that involves performing illegal online activities
(cybercrime) on behalf of others for money. Cybercrime as a
service represents an evolution of online crime from the sale
of illegal products such as malware and exploit kits to
offering everything necessary to arrange a cyber fraud or to
conduct a cyber attack. As well as providing malicious
code, the service provider also rents out the infrastructure
(servers and network connections) to control the
distribution and operation of the malware, e.g., bullet-proof
hosting or huge botnets.
