Number 1: This one made the most sense to me was the revenge one, it is titled “Revenge porn Victims in Wales” this one made scenes to me because it spoke about our new fond technology referring to AI technology is being used to target individuals from the young age of 14 years old and make them look as if they are showing themselves naked, but in reality it is someone who generated that individual on to a naked body of someone else. This is a serious crime that is happening in today’s world and it is extremely scary, because this could happen to anyone.
Number 2: This one made sense to me as well, it is boredom one. It is titled “Cyberbullying and online sexual grooming of children”. The reason this one made sense to me is because in today’s age meeting people online has become the norm. Especially during the pandemic, but the issue is that you don’t know who you are meeting online especially because that individual is anonymous. And that can harm children that are innocent and don’t fully understand what is going on. And the blame can not be pointed towards the parents because workload from work has the parent occupied and not fully paying attention to their children. Causing their children to become victims of cyberbullying and online sexual grooming.
Number 3: This one also made sense to me, it is the for money one titled “Sex, Drugs and Toilet Rolls: How Cybercriminals Spend Their Money (infographic)” This one made sense to me because it breaks down what cybercriminals spend their stolen money on. Showing that even these cybercriminals have their own lives to take care of. Giving us a breakdown of what they spend their money on.
Number 4: This one kind of makes sense, it is the one about recognition. The article is titled “8-month suspended sentence for script kiddie who DDoS’d Labour candidate in runup to 2019 UK general election” This one talked about how an individual scammed a woman on snapchat basically scaring her to do what he asked for. Now that individual is under close watch, he is not able to delete any of his social media platforms without police permission.
Number 5: This one somewhat made sense to me, it is the one about multiple reasons titled “What Drives Hackers to a Life of Cybercrime?” This gives you a reason on why a cyber criminal would commit the crimes that they commit. It provides them with money, attention, skills, and an ego boost. Wanting them to continue this path of crime.
Number 6: This one did not make sense to me, it was the one about entertainment titled “Man behind LinkedIn scraping said he grabbed 700M profiles ‘for fun’. I don’t understand why someone would do this just for fun, especially because at the end of the day they will get caught. It would have been different if it was for money at least then there is a motive for it.
Number 7: The one to me that did not make much sense either is the political one, which is titled “New generation of angry and youthful hackers” To me this one did not have a motive, it felt like the hackers were doing this just to gain some sort of attention. It just felt all over the place.
