Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Cybercriminals target known software security weaknesses, such as vulnerabilities in operating systems, applications or networks, in order to exploit them and gain access to sensitive information or systems. They do this with the intent of making money or causing harm. While cybercrime can result in physical harm or violence, it is not a characteristic of all cybercriminal activity. Cybercriminals can be difficult to apprehend due to the global nature of the internet and the anonymity it provides, making it challenging for law enforcement to track them down.
