Seeing how cyber criminals are operating

Published June 2017

From the cyber criminal's point of view, the Internet is full of targets. Some targets are well protected, but most can be easily hacked. For example, home computers are often easy targets and criminals can use them as platforms to perform attacks against other computers.

With no universal Internet police, and without law enforcement that successfully covers international Internet criminality, criminals perceive the Internet as a low-risk environment. Online crime may be hard to trace; the possibility of getting caught is potentially small even if caught, jail sentences are short; and the huge scale of potential rewards is attractive.
