Cybercrime are criminal offenses that lead to conventional criminal offenses through the use of information technology.
Why is cybercrime so dangerous?
The perpetrators can carry out criminal activities and harm victims on the other side of the world. There are more and more end devices such as smartphones or notebooks with which potential victims can be attacked. The professionalism of the perpetrators is also increasing immensely. Whereas in the past the target was often private individuals, it is now international companies. When large corporations are attacked, the potential for damage increases enormously.
What can I do?
Sensitive handling of passwords is essential. Do not rely solely on passwords, but activate two-factor authentication if possible. Use an additional hardware device to protect your accounts from unauthorized attacks. Always install important security updates for your programs so that no security gaps can be exploited.
