Cybercriminals
Introduction
The internet is a useful resource for learning, for art, for political expression, and for business. However, cybercriminals are posing threats to cybersecurity of business and individuals. James Lyne discusses about cybercrime in his TED Talk and how users suffer from cyberattacks. He explores how cybercriminals have become wonderful professional and organized hackers in modern day. Lyne reveals the new methods used by cybercriminals to access our data such as smartphones embedded with GPS data, which poses a threat to our security and privacy (Lyne, 2013). Therefore, Lyne makes us understand the risk we put ourselves in when browsing online and exchanging data for accessing various websites or platforms.
TED Talk Discussion
I agree with James Lyne TED Talk on his discussion that hackers use simple operations to access data such as receiving an email, plugging in the USB key, and access data. According to Lyne (2013), use computer Trojans and viruses to steal data, targeting big businesses such as infrastructure, utilities, and power. Cybercriminals make use of malware codes to attack companies that are vulnerable and have data that is poorly protected.
I agree that hunting down 250,000 pieces of malware every day is a huge challenge. The numbers are growing every day that makes it challenging to track down. The cybercriminals can be hunted down only if there is a cross industry collaboration including Sophos, independent researchers, and Facebook. Therefore, a collaborative effort across the globe is required to end cybercrimes.
I agree that hackers are invisible making it difficult to catch them. The reason is because they hide their identity by using secure software like proxy server and channel their communication through various nations to avoid detection. In addition, technologies such as encryption and Tor are used to hide their identity. These tools enable hackers to commit cyber-crimes without detection. Another reason why it is difficult to catch hackers is due to the legal issues surrounding the topic, which hinders proper implementation of the law that will curb the crime. Most countries make national laws in their implementation, therefore fail to agree on better laws to put in place, posing a challenge from the legal point of view (May, 2013).
I do not disagree with James Lyne TED Talk about cybercriminals and their hacking habit. However, what I find disadvantageous about this TED talk is the length. The TED talk is brief therefore the information provided is not broad. We can gain more insights on the same by reading widely on the topic and doing more research to obtain adequate information.
Steps for Mitigating Cybercrime
Based on my knowledge of cybercrime, the steps that I could take to assist in mitigating cybercrime and catch the perpetrators include:
Conclusion
Cybersecurity is increasingly becoming a complex topic with various issues and actors. Despite the increasing cyber-attacks, the very little is being done to protect personal and business data. Since the internet universal connecting borderlines, it is crucial for the world to come together and greatly improve cybersecurity. It is evident that cybercriminals are invisible making it difficult for law enforcement to track and arrest them. They use sophisticated tactics that leaves their tracks undetected. It is crucial for the global nations to work together to make life challenging for the cybercriminals. However, we can prevent cybercriminals but doing the basics such as using a different password for different sites online and find out how to update and cover the systems of your computer. Therefore, applying these simple practices would be the first step towards curbing cyber-attacks.
