Over the past few years, the personal data theft landscape has changed as online behaviors and activities evolve.
To better understand this crime, it helps to understand what personal data is worth to an identity thief. The average identity thief doesn’t steal data to use for him or herself. In most cases, they take the personal information and sell it on the online black market. It can be surprising what an individual’s personal information is worth.

Human Factors and Ergonomics Society mission is to promote the discovery and exchange of knowledge concerning the characteristics of human beings that are applicable to the design of systems and devices of all kinds.
The author of a paper to be presented at the upcoming 2013 International Human Factors and Ergonomics Society Annual Meeting has described behavioral, cognitive, and perceptual attributes of e-mail users who are vulnerable to phishing attacks. Phishing is the use of fraudulent e-mail correspondence to obtain passwords and credit card information, or to send viruses.

1 September 2014 Today the Joint Cybercrime Action Taskforce (J-CAT) is launched to further strengthen the fight against cybercrime in the European Union and beyond. Hosted at the European Cybercrime Centre (EC3) at Europol, the J-CAT, which is being piloted for six months, will coordinate international investigations with partners working side-by-side to take action against key cybercrime threats and top targets, such as underground forums and malware, including banking Trojans. The J-CAT will be led by Andy Archibald, Deputy Director of the National Cyber Crime Unit from the UK’s National Crime Agency (NCA). The J-CAT was initiated by Europol's EC3, the EU Cybercrime Taskforce, the FBI and the NCA, and the J-CAT comprises a team composed of Cyber Liaison Officers from committed and closely involved Member States, non-EU law enforcement partners and EC3. Key contributors to the intelligence pool will be the EU Member States via EC3, and other law enforcement cooperation partners. Thus far, Austria, Canada, Germany, France, Italy, the Netherlands, Spain, the UK and the US are part of the J-CAT. Australia and Colombia have also committed to the initiative.

Dies hat nicht nur den Opferkreis begrenzt sondern auch die Kriminellen einem höheren Risiko ausgesetzt. Allerdings hat sich das Verbrechen mit dem Aufkommen des Internet und der Online-Technologie radikal verändert. Heutzutage können Cyber-Kriminelle ganz einfach fast jeden in der Welt mit wenig oder gar keinen Kosten und einem sehr geringem Risiko angreifen. Zusätzlich organisieren sich die .Cyber-Kriminellen immer besser und werden dadurch effizienter und effektiver als je zuvor.

Why You Are Targeted A criminal’s goal has always been the same: to make as much money as possible, as easily as possible, and with as little risk as possible. Traditionally, this was difficult because criminals were often limited by their location and had to physically interact with their intended victims. This not only limited whom criminals could target, but also exposed criminals to a great deal of risk. However, crime has radically changed Now cyber criminals can easily target almost everyone in the world, with little or no cost, and at very little risk. Additionally, cyber criminals have become highly organized .and efficient, enabling them to be more effective than ever Learn more:

Un rapport d’Akamai sur l’état de l’Internet souligne la montée en puissance des attaques ciblant les grandes entreprises. Et le poids du cybercrime en Asie
La dernière édition du baromètre State of the Internet, réalisé par Akamai, révèle une double évolution des pratiques du cybercrime. D’abord ceux-ci font évoluer leurs techniques en parallèle de la mutation des infrastructures vers le Cloud et les terminaux mobiles. D’autre part, ils ciblent de plus en plus fréquemment les grandes entreprises, dont la sécurité est mise à rude épreuve.
Les grandes entreprises concentrent à elles seules 42% des attaques, plus que les sites e-commerce. Les médias ont également été secoués au printemps, notamment à l’initiative de la Syrian Electronic Army, soutien affirmé de Bachar al-Assad.

An academic study into human susceptibility to phishing has found that 92% of people misclassify phishing emails, despite efforts to educate people about the dangers.
Educating users to keep a wary eye out for phishing attempts has been a major focus for security admins and providers, but it seems like the bad guys are managing to keep ahead of the curve.
