Cyber crime is an evolving threat in field of technology with a wide range of improper activities being conducted through the internet from financial fraud to identity theft and ransomware attacks these activities require an in depth knowledge of computers and how they operate in other words they are done by experienced individuals who exploit vulnerabilities in computer systems and networks for personal gain or for intent to cause damage.
Cyber crime is vast, with perpetrator's ranging from organized criminal groups to payed individuals hired by organizations and the highly influential individuals in society. According to the FBI's Internet Crime Complaint Centre (IC3), cybercrime complaints have been on the rise in recent years, highlighting the escalating threat landscape. Understanding the motivation behind cybercrime is is a step towards developing a solution.
1) financial gain: Financial gain is the main reason for most cyber crimes as many criminals are motivated by money so they tend to hack into peoples crypto wallets and bank accounts.
2) Cooperate espionage: This is the theft of a company's information without consent and selling it the purpose of this is to gain competitive advantage in the market.
3) Hacktivism: This is when a person gains unauthorized access to computer files or networks in order to further social or political needs.
As we know there are no advantages of cyber attacks it only causes pain to its victims and burns a hole in their pockets . My aim was to enlighten everyone on cyber attacks let everyone know that if billion dollar company's can fall for this what makes you think you wouldn't ?
