CYBERCRIME

The INTERNET OF THINGS has made way for the invaluable vestiges of e-commerce, global connectedness, as well as productivity to increase demonstrably, as collaborative and convenience solutions are right at our fingertips.

Likewise, the evolution of such avenues have also allowed CYBER CRIMINALS to utilize these dais in effort to carry out harmful aim against unsuspecting machine users in undeniable fashion, spawning the exponential emergence of crime prevention measures.

CYBERCRIME includes any and all acts to steal, deceive, and terrorize both personal and organizational machine users alike, in effort to cause significant harm...

...to include -

Spoofing identifying machine information to garner trust and gain unauthorized access to someone's machine and machine resources.

Stealing personal information to use illicitly, such as banking information, passports and other identifying information to commit cyber crimes.

Using Spyware to acquire the 'Digital Fingerprint' of machine users for the purposes of illegally tracking internet activity.

Cyber Espionage to elicit brute force attacks by way of preventing access to resources by machine owners to ransom monies or other leverages.

Cyber Terrorism serving as machine owner harassing hubs by breaking valuable resources in effort to garner complicity or to prevent productivity and proficient resource utilization, through acts of cyber violences.

As the means by which our world becomes more connected enhances, so too does the methods criminals have at their disposal to engage in stealthy illegal activities.

Further, the array of faceless and nameless cyber criminals hiding behind machines while using them to steal, terrorize, and force modes of espionage onto unsuspecting targets have far greater aim in absconding their activities from the law, as internet traffic and ports of origin and destination aren't as easily tracked as we might believe, making it an arduous task for cyber crime prevention efforts to successfully identify criminal origins.

As such, one of the best things we can do as machine users is to seek the help of cybersecurity professionals upon observing resource compromisation when first recognized.

Likewise, OMNITEKK suggests keeping a dossier of any and all anomalous circumstances so as to help bring awareness of trends in what you may be facing.

And lastly, it is central to note that even the craftiest cyber criminals eventually get caught.

So be sure to continue your due diligence in helping maintain a safe and secure computing experience for us all.

And until our next I.T. adventure my friends, OMNITEKK says be well.
