Cyber criminals only require a few expenses beyond a computer and an Internet connection. They are unconstrained by geography and distance. They are difficult to identify and prosecute due to anonymous nature of the Internet.
Give attacks against information technology systems are very attractive, it is expected that the number and sophistication of cyber-attacks will keep growing.
