Many people today are worried about ‘cybercrime’ such as hacking and identity theft.
What problems does ‘cybercrime’ cause, and what solutions can you suggest for ordinary people
and businesses to take?
Give reasons for your answer, and provide ideas and examples from your own
experience.
Cybercrime is a cause of widespread concern today, as so many people use technology to
store and transmit sensitive data. There are a number of problems that people suffer as a result of
these crimes, but also some straightforward measures we can take to protect ourselves.
Perhaps the worst problem stemming from this is the financial impact. If someone has his or
her bank account emptied, or has false credit lines created under their name, they are potentially
liable for large sums of money. Even if they can avoid the consequences, their bank or finance
company has to cover the losses, which can damage their performance. A further problem is the way
in which these stolen funds are used to subsidize other crimes, such as drug distribution or even
terrorism. Once the money enters the criminal networks, we have no way of knowing how it will be
used. Finally, there is the problem of anxiety and stress caused to the innocent victims of these crimes.
The initial shock is often followed by months or years or legal wrangling, paperwork and a sense of
insecurity.
Turning to possible solutions, probably the most effective measure is to improve personal
security, ranging from passwords to the shredding of documents. This denies the criminals the raw
materials to work with. Secondly, we should raise awareness of the risks among the elderly or the
very young – two groups who are often specifically targeted – via publicity and public education.
Ultimately, however, it is the financial companies who can make the greatest contribution, by
increasing their security and detection systems – ideally in partnership with the police.
Overall, the problems caused are both financial and social, and the solutions should involve
coordinated action by individuals, corporations and the state.
