Cybercrime

Abstract

Cybercrime is international and impacts both the public and private sector. Due to a lack of enthusiasm from private sector citizens, there remains an increased number of cybersecurity employment opportunities unfilled. This is creating a problem because it enables cybercriminals to go unpenalized for the continued crimes and cybercriminal activity they deploy. While some countries have enacted laws and cyberpolicy to try and tame the growing threat of cybercrime. Many other countries neglect to partner and help enforce laws enacted by other countries. Some countries advocate for citizens to engage in cybercrime when it targets an adversary. This chapter delivers research defined in valid truth about the type of cybercrimes deployed in 42 countries-i.e., Afghanistan, Bermuda, Canada, Chili, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Egypt, Estonia, European Union, Finland, Gambia, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Icelandic, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Kenya, Kosovo, Kuwait, Luxemburg, Malaysia, Morocco, Nepal, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Poland, Rwanda, Samoa, Singapore, Slovakia, South Africa, Sweden, Switzerland, Thailand, Trinidad, Uganda, United Arab Emeritus (UAE), United Kingdom, and Vietnam. Additionally, you will learn how cyberpsychology is instrumental in helping these countries tame the growing threat of cybercrime victimization. You will also gain the knowledge to improve your strategies mitigation and risk management to decrease the potential threat of cybercrime.
