Victim precipitation, which looks at what actions victims took that may have led to their victimization, can be seen in many ways within the cyber world. A victim’s actions of clicking phishing links, visiting unsecured websites, and downloading harmful files, believing they are good. Additionally, a victim within cyberspace does not need to be actively doing things to be engaging in victim precipitation. Victims of cyber-based victimization can passively precipitate through inaction, like not updating devices regularly or using old and outdated devices that were broken years ago.
