Cyber-attacks have become commonplace in the world of the Internet. The nature of cyber-attacks is gradually changing. Early cyber-attacks were usually conducted by curious personal hackers who used simple techniques to hack homepages and steal personal information. Lately, cyber attackers have started using sophisticated cyber-attack techniques that enable them to retrieve national confidential information beyond the theft of personal information or defacing websites. These sophisticated and advanced cyber-attacks can disrupt the critical infrastructures of a nation. Much research regarding cyber-attacks has been conducted; however, there has been a lack of research related to measuring cyber-attacks from the perspective of offensive cybersecurity. This motivated us to propose a methodology for quantifying cyber-attacks such that they are measurable rather than abstract. For this purpose, we identified each element of offensive cybersecurity used in cyber-attacks. We also investigated the extent to which the detailed techniques identified in the offensive cyber-security framework were used, by analyzing cyber-attacks. Based on these investigations, the complexity and intensity of cyber-attacks can be measured and quantified. We evaluated advanced persistent threats (APT) and fileless cyber-attacks that occurred between 2010 and 2020 based on the methodology we developed. Based on our research methodology, we expect that researchers will be able to measure future cyber-attacks.

In recent years, the Internet has become an integral element of people's everyday lifestyles all across the world. Online criminality, on the other hand, has risen in tandem with the growth of Internet activity. Cyber security has advanced greatly in recent years in order to keep up with the rapid changes that occur in cyberspace. Cyber security refers to the methods that a country or organization can use to safeguard its products and information in cyberspace.  Two decades ago, the term "cyber security" was barely recognized by the general public. Cyber security isn't just a problem that affects individuals but it also applies to an organization or a government. Everything has recently been digitized, with cybernetics employing a variety of technologies such as cloud computing, smart phones, and Internet of Things techniques, among others. Cyber-attacks are raising concerns about privacy, security, and financial compensation. Cyber security is a set of technologies, processes, and practices aimed at preventing attacks, damage, and illegal access to networks, computers, programmes, and data.  The primary goal of this article is to conduct a thorough examination of cyber security kinds, why cyber security is important, cyber security framework, cyber security tools, and cyber security difficulties. Cyber security safeguards the data and integrity of computing assets that are part of or connected to an organization's network, with the goal of defending such assets from all threat actors throughout the life cycle of a cyber-attack.

Backdoor or commonly also known as web shell is one of the malicious software that hackers use to maintain access systems that they have entered. Relatively few programs like Anti Web-Shell, PHP Backdoor Scanner circulating on the Internet, and can be obtained free of charge to deal with the issues above. But most of these programs have no actual database of signature behavior to deal with PHP backdoor / Shell nowadays. Then comes the contemporary Anti Web-Shell program that can deal with today's backdoor shell. This study uses an experimental method concerning previous similar studies and is implemented directly into the world of cyber security professional industries. By enriching the Regex dictionary signature and String Array Matching the actualized Anti Web-Shell program can detect more backdoor than similar programs that have existed in the past. The results of this study are in the form of a web application software in PHP extension. The application can minimize 100% of false positives and is twice as fast in scanning files because it is more specific in heuristic analysis scan.

The Right

Privacy, or the right to hold information about oneself in secret (Masuda, 1979; O’Brien & Yasnof, 1999), has become increasingly important in the information society. With the rapid technological advances and the digitalization of information, retrieval of specific records is more rapid; personal information can be integrated into a number of different data files; and copying, transporting, collecting, storing, and processing large amounts of information is easier. Additionally, the advent of the World Wide Web and the fast-paced growth of the Internet have created further cause for concern. The vast amounts of digital information and the pervasiveness of the Internet facilitate new techniques for gathering information—for example, spyware, phishing, and cookies. Hence, personal information is much more vulnerable to being inappropriately used. This article outlines the importance of privacy in an e-commerce environment, the specific privacy concerns individuals may have, antecedents to these concerns, and potential remedies to quell them.

AbstractDespite an ongoing drive by governments and law enforcers around the world to improve the sophistication of their risk mitigation measures, cyber-attacks are continually increasing. A study from Computer Crime and Intellectual Property Section (CCIPS) shows more than 4,000 ransomware attacks occurred daily in 2016. That's a 300 percent increase over 2015, where 1,000 ransomware attacks were seen per day. Cyber criminals are successfully penetrating even the most high-profile companies and governmental agencies. The breach at the NSA was truly alarming and just one recent example of the dire situation the country, and world, face as cybercrime intensifies and the cyber security talent shortage becomes more serious.Accordingly, the purpose of this research is to focus on cyber education at the national, government, and law enforcement level examining the methodology to set the tone from the top ensuring alignment between governments, law enforcers, private sector, and academic level. It also examines the gaps in cyber laws and educational governance initiatives and their impact on efficient execution of cyber policies for various regions of the world with a focus on the United Arab Emirates and the United States of America.Finally, this article recommends policy guidelines and a compliance manual framework for governments and law enforcers to consider ensuring that cyber risks are properly addressed and mitigated in a structured and coherent way.

Electronic commerce has been recognised as a source of fundamental, pan-sectoral change to the conduct of business; Chan and Swatman (2000) use the term: “A new paradigm for doing business.” Other authors have gone further, viewing modern IT developments as the latter part of a period starting in the mid-1970s that represents a transition to nothing less than a new phase of capitalist development (Amin, 1994). Benjamin, Rockhart, Scott Morton, and Wyman (1983) also suggest that the world economy has been fundamentally altered by the globalisation of competition which has largely been caused by the declining cost and consequent increasing spread of IT developments.

In the world of full of technology and digitization security is the main concern right now. With the help of internet, we can do most of our work like shopping, office work, e-banking, other transactions, etc. With mobile banking everyone knows how to do transactions, online shopping, but most of the people don’t know what the security while doing any kind of online work, people have lack of knowledge in cyber security and hacker, cyber criminals take advantage of that. According to report in 2020, the transaction volume share in India stood at 15.6 per cent and 22.9 per cent for instant payments and other electronic payments respectively, while paper-based payments had a considerable share of 61.4 per cent. And by the 2024 the electronic transaction will increase by 50% and this will touch 71.7% by 2025. India is a developing country and is moving forward in digitization. While this is happening securing the online data or transaction will become more and more challenging. E- banking makes work easier and fast but it is not safe, it will never be 100% secure. And cybercrime is increasing faster than we imagine. This study paper mainly focuses on banking frauds in India, online transaction, scenarios faced by cyber victims, e-banking challenges. It also focuses on the cyber security and how can we avoid most of the e-banking fraud.

The world’s most valuable resource is no longer oil, but data. Smartphones and the internet have made data abundant, ubiquitous and far more valuable. Modern algorithms can predict when a customer tends to buy, a car needs servicing or a person is at risk of a disease. Meanwhile, artificial intelligence techniques extract more value from data. As individuals accumulate information which transforms into knowledge, entrepreneurs will want to use and/or share that knowledge. It is the sharing of knowledge that needs a decentralized, autonomous mechanism so that knowledge can be shared fairly amongst all peoples of the world, not just within corporations. Blockchain technology gives us that mechanism. Blockchain is one of a kind decentralized technology and it is distributed as well as decentralized ledger. Blockchain is the answer to a lot of obstacles the world has to go through today. Before today, nobody could think of transferring money from one account to another safely without any financial institution in the middle, like a bank. Blockchain technology presents a radical and disruptive new way of conducting all manner of transactions over the Internet. The advent of Bitcoin and the blockchain has brought a lot of change to the world of finance even the world economy was formerly run using fiat currencies. Introducing the blockchain environment will actually enhance the economics because in blockchain, all transactions are recorded right from the manufacturer to the buyer. This paper explores the emerging landscape for blockchain technology focusing on the economics.
