Cybercrime includes various practices such as the theft of personal data, the installation of viruses and malware, the creation of fake profiles on the Internet (for example on social networks or to commit fraud), online fraud or cyberbullying.
One of the main difficulties in combating cybercrime is its cross-border nature. In many situations, it is very difficult to identify the origin of the crime and its perpetrators.
With the increasing use of the internet and technological equipment, it is imperative that users are knowledgeable about technology, networks, and cybersecurity to protect themselves and avoid such situations.
Many situations of online fraud, scams and theft of personal information can be avoided by being more aware and preventative. Many cybercriminals "take advantage" of users' ignorance and carelessness to commit crimes.
