The Complications of Cybercrime
Around 2004, computer viruses were weaponized for organized crime.
Have hackers begun to commit crimes to make a profit, or have criminal organizations approached hackers and brought them in?
In any case, crimes in cyberspace became rampant.
Until now, the leading international crimes have been drugs and prostitution, but the global recession arrived and civilians have become less involved in drugs and prostitution. Criminal organizations are more sensitive to these trends than ordinary companies and they can move on to the next action more easily. Their next market was piracy and cybercrime.
In particular, the online market has already grown to surpass the drug market, said to have exceeded $100 billion in 2010.
In addition, cyberspace is also often involved in conventional crimes. In many cases, money launderers use electronic currency or sell illegal products using websites. In that sense, it is no exaggeration to say that most crimes on an international scale are cybercrimes.
Of course, these are done by hackers.
In the mid-2000s, hackers’ techniques were much more sophisticated and complex than ever before.
Cyber criminals no longer just manipulate a few computers, but now a countless number of computers. In addition, since around 2003, hackers have jointly created sites for exchanging information, grouped together to spread powerful new viruses, and took over the hacking of unsecured computers as needed.
Computers infected without the user’s knowledge are organized under the surface of the water and are responsible for all criminal activities that benefit the dark world, such as large-scale server attacks and mass spam mailings.
It was in exactly the right state to call it war. Damages caused by various viruses were daily occurrences. Each day ten or twenty virus were sent out to PC mailers.
It was ALTIMIT OS that got this turbulent cyberspace under control.
