Cyber crime broadly describes criminal activity where computers or networks are used as tools, targets, or places for criminal activity. Common cyber crimes include unauthorized access to computer systems and data. According to reports, India lost $8 billion to cyber crime in 2011, with 14,392 Indian websites hacked in 2012. 80% of Indian businesses reported data theft through online hacking. However, the Indian government is working to combat cyber crime by establishing cyber cells in various states. Well-known cyber security organizations and hardware manufacturers can still fall victim to hacks, demonstrating that no network is completely secure.
