As technology continues to advance, the types of crimes have also changed. When individuals used to think about the term crime, they would likely think about someone robbing a bank or something like that. The common theme in these usual crimes is that they happen in person. However, now crimes can be committed by computers, smartphones, or any device that can connect to the internet. Cybercriminals can do as much or more damage than being in person in a company or on an individual. For example, if a cyber criminal was able to hack into the software of a hospital and retrieve all of the patient’s vital information such as their social security cards, then, the criminal could sell these things for a profit. Also, a cyber criminal could attack an individual person. This could come in the form of cyber harassment or cyber stalking. Obviously, when someone is in person harassing or stalking you, it is much easier to deal with than being online. When being online the cybercriminal could send persistent threats to an individual’s warning them that they are in danger making the induvial absolutely paranoid. For example, a person in California could be sending threatening messages to someone in Virginia and the victim would have no idea of this but still be on the look out and worried for their safety. Yet another example of this comes more in the cyber harassment field. This is becoming worse and worse with the rise of social media on apps like Facebook, Instagram, and Snapchat. If someone posted a picture of themselves on Instagram, a cyber harasser could tell them that they are ugly and worthless making the victim feel terrible. Hopefully, with these new ways of crime, the laws may need to be adjusted to fit these particular issues under them.
