In the lexicon of criminal language, the term "cybercrime" is relatively new; it gained traction mostly in the late 1990s when technology was brought to the financial sector. The technological aspects of cybercrimes, their effects on the financial sector, and the challenges and fallout they create are the main topics of this research paper. Additionally, it highlights the need for stronger, more reliable security against upcoming cyberattacks. Thus, as computer and internet technology quickly advanced, new types of global crimes known the term "Cyber Crimes" has developed. The nature and pattern of cybercrime occurrences have evolved over time to become increasingly complicated and sophisticated.
