Some criminals try to "justify"
their thieving propensities by suggesting they don't really take large valued
merchandise, or they do it to "test" another's cyber system. The
inference needless to say is because they are somehow harmless. Criminals
typically aim to ruse their police force detractors, or some other individual
that questions what they do. They rationalize their thefts are non-violent and
restricted to smaller levels of dollar losses, in which those items are often
replaced. Their matter-of-fact justifications don't justify the unlawful taking
someone else's personal or business property. They're still criminals none the
less along with a breach of security means a contravention with the criminal
laws.
Last month, PC World predicted some of the
biggest security threats in 2012. One of those is targeting laptops and mobile
devices and their vulnerability in Wi-Fi hotspots. It's surprisingly possible
for hackers to eavesdrop, and even develop a fake hotspot, to lure unsuspecting
users into their trap where most identity theft occurs.
As always, our critical concerns could be
the injury, the loss and damages, caused to others as a result of internet
criminality. Make no mistake, criminals choose to commit crimes of their very
own free will in the interests of getting something they didn't earn or
deserve. Make no mistake criminals dislike the responsible nature in others.
Electronic breaches of the law are certainly not unlike similar malevolent
premeditated street-level crimes, in terms the psycho-dynamics. Some cyber
criminals pose a danger to your banks accounts, and some risk the collapse
individuals economic system. And still others endanger our national security.
In the amative stimulation for power and control, criminals uses any means.
Like bank robbers or assailants in the pub, cyber villains should get the same
numbers of punishment. And, their conviction and subsequent sentencing should
be sure, swift and certain and for extended periods of time.
Criminals freely choose their unique
criminogenic instigations. Of which, Cyber-crime involves huge amounts of
dollar losses annually to a global community. According to one source, the
Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3), within the auspices of the FBI, in 2007,
the company received nearly 25 % million complaints regarding internet crimes.
This likely has increased to more significant numbers of late, and represents
the end with the proverbial cyber-criminal iceberg. No doubt loads of
information flowing from the internet signifies targets of opportunities for
criminals.
Because these people workout of places like
Brazil, or another countries (India and Russia may also be near the top of
their email list.) where there's little that can be done over it...thousands of
US citizens have mislaid huge amount of money and continue to do so. Setting up
a phishing operation isn't hard. There's a "hacker" magazine in
Brazil that prints these kinds of information about a monthly basis. Over
20,000 copies a month are sold at newsstands. You can also find them online. I
don't want to give them any free advertising so I won't print a link on their
website, but I did download certainly one of their publications entitled
"Phishing for Fun and Profit." Scary!
