Unlike the Hactivists who are just angry with the systems and are showing their grievances through cyber attacks. The cyber criminal s are everywhere in Nigeria . They are the ones giving our country unprintable names here and there.
If you know them, you will be able to protect yourself against them. That is why I have come in this article to tell you about roles of Cyber Criminals in Network Security Threats in Nigeria.
A Cyber Criminal belongs to an organized group. They plan to attack devices and steal data. They always threaten to corrupt data so as to throw the entire organization into disarray. In this article, I want to talk about the roles of Cyber Criminals in Security threats. Follow me as we look at it together in this article.
Cybercriminals also adopt the use of ransomware. Ransomware is malicious software that infects your computer and displays messages demanding a fee to be paid in order for your system to work again. This class of malware is a criminal money-making scheme that can be installed through deceptive links in email messages or websites.
Their motivation is money. Cybercriminals can target POS and e-commerce websites and sell card information gathered to the highest bidders. They can also decide to use the information themselves.
How do they achieve that…
Through Spear Phishing where emails are sent to specific users that they wanted to target for the attack. Once their computers are infected, it will open doors for more attacks.
