For casual tech users, cybercrimes don’t seem that big of a deal. But for those who know what’s really going on, the worst-case scenario is cybercrimes can bring down entire countries.
The worst cybercrimes have affected millions of computers across the globe and have cost people billions of dollars. Some have even disrupted sensitive processes in hospitals and other key institutions, inadvertently leading to loss of life. Cyber criminals are capable of attacking almost any business, institution, or person. And for those not well-versed in cybercrime methods, installing an anti-virus program is enough. But it almost never is.

Hackers and other cyber criminals have found workarounds to anti-malware and anti-virus programs. Their methods have evolved to the point that they can now steal insane amounts of money from millions of people and businesses without being noticed until it’s too late.
It’s a good thing though that cybersecurity has evolved as well, and that a number of the worst cybercriminals in history have come over to the “good guys.” Today, methods have been developed to counter cybercrime, one of the most important of which is the identification of the enemy. When people know who and what they’re up against, it’s easier to prepare a good defense. Today, firewalls, VPNs, and other programs are being created with the ability to tailor defenses to the attackers and their weapons.
