Cybercrime is a type of crime that involves the use of computer systems for

criminal purposes. Cybercriminals use hacking tools and malware to steal data,
defraud others and conduct other malicious acts. Some cybercriminals may be
motivated by profit, while others are more interested in becoming famous than
being caught by authorities.
There are various reasons why cybercrime is prevalent in the world today. One
of the main reasons for this is that there are very few people who are able to
control their own actions and impulses, therefore their moral behaviour could be
affected by things such as social media, pornography, cyber-bullying, etc. Another
reason why cybercrime is prevalent right now is due to the fact that almost
everyone has access to the internet nowadays.
Cybercrime is a serious issue that affects not only individuals and businesses,
but also the global economy. Cyber criminals are constantly searching for new
ways to steal valuable information, money and data by breaking into businesses
and offices around the world. Cybercrime can cause great damage to a business's
reputation and revenue streams due to fear of identity theft, access to credit
guidelines and fraudulent purchases.
