permitted criminals to commit cybercrime all over the world. Cybercrime is considered any

illegal activity performed using computers or the Internet. The activity of downloading illegal

deviating in a different direction as it once was. New financial malware programs become

available and the criminals find new ways to construct non-financial information, and the rise of

hacking related attacks breathes fresh life. Identity theft is one of the most common forms of
