A worldwide analysis of cyber security and cyber crime using twitter

Abstract

In the era of social media and the Internet, there has been an exponential increase in threats related to the privacy of user accounts and data. The confidentiality of personal data is compromised for various motives. This sudden increase in security threats has led to widespread problems. Our research is focused on analyzing the extent of cyber-attacks in various countries across the globe. We have proposed a novel approach for analyzing the tweets related to cyber-attacks and its surrounding fields. The analysis proves that Asian countries face more cyber security issues as compared to European countries. Further, it is also analyzed that developing countries like India are more prone to these issues as compare to developed countries like the United States or the United Kingdom.
