The Complications of Cybercrime
Around 2004, computer viruses were weaponized for organized crime .
Have hackers begun to commit crimes to make a profit, or have criminal organizations approached hackers and brought them in?
In any case, crimes in cyberspace became rampant .
Until now, the leading international crimes have been drugs and prostitution, but the global recession arrived and civilians have become less involved in drugs and prostitution . Criminal organizations are more sensitive to these trends than ordinary companies and they can move on to the next action more easily . Their next market was piracy and cybercrime .
In particular, the online market has already grown to surpass the drug market, said to have exceeded $100 billion in 2010 .
In addition, cyberspace is also often involved in conventional crimes . In many cases, money launderers use electronic currency or sell illegal products using websites . In that sense, it is no exaggeration to say that most crimes on an international scale are cybercrimes .
Of course, these are done by hackers .
In the mid-2000s, hackers’ techniques were much more sophisticated and complex than ever before .
Cyber criminals no longer just manipulate a few computers, but now a countless number of computers . In addition, since around 2003, hackers have jointly created sites for exchanging information, grouped together to spread powerful new viruses, and took over the hacking of unsecured computers as needed .
Computers infected without the user’s knowledge are organized under the surface of the water and are responsible for all criminal activities that benefit the dark world, such as large-scale server attacks and mass spam mailings .
It was in exactly the right state to call it war . Damages caused by various viruses were daily occurrences . Each day ten or twenty virus were sent out to PC mailers .
It was ALTIMIT OS that got this turbulent cyberspace under control .
