Cybercrime - A Worldwide Epidemic

The chilling reality is that cybercrime has become an epidemic that is moving so fast that law enforcement cannot catch up with it. The Department of Treasury has reported that the profits of cybercrime are greater than the profits from the sale of illegal drugs.

According to President Obama, Cybercrime has cost Americans more than $8 billion in the past two years and the cost of computers repairs has risen to $11 billion a year.

You ask, "How can my computer get hacked?" There are many ways:

A hacker or cybercriminal installs a piece of software called a rootkit into a hole in the back of your computer, slows down your computer, steals your personal information, and uses your computer to commit criminal activities.

Botnets are used to hack many computers at the same time by infecting them with viruses, spyware, malware, and trojans and preventing you from having access to your email, websites, and online accounts.

Emails are sent out that appear to be coming from a legitimate organization or someone you know. You enter your username and password. However, these "phishing" emails take you to the cybercriminal's web site and they use your information to commit crimes.

Viruses are put into attachments and when someone opens the attachment, the computer become infected with viruses and is hacked.

With rootkits, botnets, phishing emails, and infected attachments, your computer slows down. Cybercriminals gain control of it, make it into a zombie computer, and commit crimes using your computer and your personal information and you are responsible for their crimes. You become aware that there is a Cyber War going on, but you don't know who the enemy is.
