| Titre | Small-time cybercrime is about to explode - We aren\'t ready |
| Texte |  By Nick Biasini.The cybersecurity industry tends to focus on extremely large-scale or sophisticated, state-sponsored attacks. Rightfully so, as it can be the most interesting, technically speaking. When most people think of cybercrime they think of large-scale breaches because that's what dominates the headlines. However, the problem is much bigger. In 2021, the Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) received a staggering 847,376 complaints, with each victim losing a little more than $8,000 on average. Once you account for the high-value breaches, the true impact is even lower. The average person is far more likely to have their identity stolen or fall victim to some other sort of scam than be directly affected by a large-scale breach - and business is booming.A deeper look at the data from IC3 shows that the amount of complaints and revenue being generated from cybercrime continues to rise. Interestingly there is a huge jump in cybercrime during the pandemic with a staggering increase of more than 60% in complaints between 2019 and 2020, with it increasing further in 2021. It's clear that cybercrime is on the rise, but what's driving it? There have been a variety of reports that criminals are turning increasingly to cybercrime instead of traditional drug crimes, with which they were commonly associated in the past. This is both a blessing and a curse - it removes a lot of violence and crime from the streets but is adding a significant amount of pressure on local law enforcement. This is an international problem. Several recent reports highlight that this is also an issue in Italy and Spain.There are cybercriminals everywhere and the U.S. is no exception. What's changed is who is involved. Historically, cybercrime was considered white-collar criminal behavior perpetrated by those that were knowledgeable and turned bad. Now, technology has become such an integral part of our lives that anyone with a smartphone and desire can get started in cybercrime. The growth of cryptocurrencies and associated anonymity, whether legitimate or not, has garnered the attention of criminals that formerly operated in traditional criminal enterprises and have now shifted to cybercrime and identity theft.Cybercrime is a local law enforcement problemFor cybercrime to get the attention of national law enforcement, |
