Today\u2019s Cybersecurity challenges are becoming every time more challenging. In United states we are experience an enormous number of spams that can be harmful and nuisance. Most of the spam is sent from a type of malware called \u201cBotnet\u201d that counts for 76% of the spam sent globally. The top countries to host botnets are India, Vietnam, China, and Russia. There are three common forms of internet fraud using these email spams and the United States has been affected by 60% volume attacks globally, by one of this forms call \u201cPhishing\u201d, leading to an average loss of $1,800 per person or $20,000 when a company is involved. The second form of internet fraud is the \u201cadvance fee fraud scheme.\u201d This method is utilized by email spam to the victims deceiving them constantly over a promise allowing the fraudster to cheat money over and over before the victim realized the \u201cpromise\u201d is false. Nigeria is the most well-known country to perform these attacks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
A study shows that 90 countries have been designated a \u201clow cybercrime countries\u201d due to low GDP and low internet users per capita. We can find countries like, Angola, Bolivia, Laos. There are 16 countries in the \u201cAdvance Fee Fraud Specialist\u201d including Nigeria as mentioned before including Italy, Jamaica, this category is also Low in GDP and internet connectivity. In the Non-serious Cybercrime countries, we can find U.S.A, Japan, Germany, France which refers to digital piracy and regular email spam. These countries you can find that have a remarkably high GDP making them the best target. Finally, we find 76 countries as \u201cPhishing Specialists\u201d like China, Russia, Turkey. These countries have an average GDP but a high internet connectivity just behind the \u201cnon-serious cybercrime countries. “Phishing schemes require more technical sophistication compared to the \u201cAdvance Fee Fraud Specialist.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
In conclusion, Countries like U.S.A where we have high GDP, are constantly targets of attacks by countries with more people and lower GDP for profit. Also, we can see that the attacks inside the U.S.A are more about piracy compared to countries like India that constantly perform Phishing attacks due to more internet users are devices. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
