What are some of the kinds of activities cybercriminals engage in?

What will be an ideal response?


Cybercrime includes attacks against computer hardware and software, financial crimes and corruption, and abuse in the form of grooming or “sexploitation,” especially crimes against children.

Cybercrime occurs in many forms—online identity theft, financial fraud, stalking, bullying, hacking, e-mail spoofing, information piracy and forgery, intellectual property crime, and more.

The most challenging and potentially disastrous type of cybercrime is cyberespionage perpetrated against the US government and US corporations, which has resulted in the theft of American intellectual property, may have compromised the nation’s defense systems, and threatened the nation’s critical infrastructure systems.
