The routine activities theory centers upon motivated offenders searching for suitable targets that have little to no guardianship around them. Offenders find motivation to commit their crimes through various reasons, mainly for financial gain, revenge, or to enhance their ego. Victims are usually people that have good intentions but they are vulnerable or uneducated with regards to cyberspace. They’re typically individuals that don’t have a guardian helping them safely navigating the cyberworld and deter criminals from taking advantage of the person. The video attached to the Routine Activities Theory shows a news clipping of shoppers being scammed during Black Friday, trying to buy a toy and another trying to purchase a weight loss cream. People during Black Friday spend millions of dollars on gifts to loved ones but it is also the perfect time for a cybercriminal to orchestrate the use of fake websites, fake gift card scams, and stealing personal information like identities. It’s a time of the year where the general public are using computers, cell phones, laptops, etc to make impulse purchases when they might not being aware of the dangers of cyberspace, specifically noticing fake website characteristics, unrealistic deals/sales, or unnecessary surveys. Cybercriminals have stolen millions of dollars from people and 419 cybercrimes happen every minute. It is important to stay alert, have peers around you giving sound advice for online transactions, and stay up-to-date on ways that cybercrimes are being committed as to not being another victim in an ever-growing cycle.
