Despite the adoption of technological measures by corporate organisations and individuals, the frequency of cybercrimes has increased over the last decade. As the number of computer systems and internet users continues to grow rapidly worldwide, accessing any information within a few seconds has become easier through the internet, a vast medium for data exchange and global communication. The objective of this paper is to discuss cybercrime, its categories, preventive mechanisms, the professions contributing to its rise, its impact on businesses, and the necessary measures to be taken to control cybercrime. The result showed that there is a need for cyber police who are to be trained specially to handle cybercrimes in Iraq. In addition, a Central Computer Crime Response unit should be created to advise the government and other investigative agencies and to guide and coordinate computer-related crime investigations.
