Over the past few years, the personal data theft landscape has changed as online behaviors and activities evolve.
To better understand this crime, it helps to understand what personal data is worth to an identity thief. The average identity thief doesn’t steal data to use for him or herself. In most cases, they take the personal information and sell it on the online black market. It can be surprising what an individual’s personal information is worth.

Dies hat nicht nur den Opferkreis begrenzt sondern auch die Kriminellen einem höheren Risiko ausgesetzt. Allerdings hat sich das Verbrechen mit dem Aufkommen des Internet und der Online-Technologie radikal verändert. Heutzutage können Cyber-Kriminelle ganz einfach fast jeden in der Welt mit wenig oder gar keinen Kosten und einem sehr geringem Risiko angreifen.

Why You Are Targeted A criminal’s goal has always been the same: to make as much money as possible, as easily as possible, and with as little risk as possible. Traditionally, this was difficult because criminals were often limited by their location and had to physically interact with their intended victims. This not only limited whom criminals could target, but also exposed criminals to a great deal of risk. However, crime has radically changed Now cyber criminals can easily target almost everyone in the world, with little or no cost, and at very little risk. Additionally, cyber criminals have become highly organized .and efficient, enabling them to be more effective than ever Learn more:

Un rapport d’Akamai sur l’état de l’Internet souligne la montée en puissance des attaques ciblant les grandes entreprises. Et le poids du cybercrime en Asie
La dernière édition du baromètre State of the Internet, réalisé par Akamai, révèle une double évolution des pratiques du cybercrime. D’abord ceux-ci font évoluer leurs techniques en parallèle de la mutation des infrastructures vers le Cloud et les terminaux mobiles. D’autre part, ils ciblent de plus en plus fréquemment les grandes entreprises, dont la sécurité est mise à rude épreuve.
Les grandes entreprises concentrent à elles seules 42% des attaques, plus que les sites e-commerce. Les médias ont également été secoués au printemps, notamment à l’initiative de la Syrian Electronic Army, soutien affirmé de Bachar al-Assad.

Educating users to keep a wary eye out for phishing attempts has been a major focus for security admins and providers, but it seems like the bad guys are managing to keep ahead of the curve.
