When cybercrime s mentoned people may immediately think of malware, others may think phishing, however cybercrime is far more than that. Cybercrime is crime against technology or crime enabled by it. This means that as well as perhaps the more obvious crimes of malware and phishing, it encompasses online fraud, unauthorised modification or destruction of data, romance fraud, tech support or remote access scams, child abuse material, and a range of other crimes.
Remember that anyone can become a victim of cybercrime, nobody is immune. Also be wary of victim blaming, as a cybercrime victim needs support, the only people to blame ar ethe criminals.
All of us that understand tech and cybercrime need to be part of the solution and help help each other, our friends, families,colleagues, and total strangers to stay safer from cybercrime. Anyone can become a victim of cybercrime, the fall out of cybercrime to victims and their famiies and/or businesses can be huge. Please be part of the fight against cybercrime. Be kind to each other, support each other, and help everyone stay safer in the online world.
