As we are now hooked on the internet and are constantly seeking to be connected to the digital world, 24 hours a day, 365 days per year, you have to be very sharp in cybercrime.

Our reliance on the internet, use of technology, and willingness to divulge lots of personal information and data with certain websites has given cybercriminals a golden opportunity to commit cybercrimes.

These cybercriminals target everybody – groups, individuals, and organizations – and try to steal data, which is a super valuable commodity in today’s modern world. Without a good antivirus like Avast, even you can fall prey to a cyber attack and be the victim of information theft.

Thanks in part to our increased usage of it, the internet is a major hub of data that cybercriminals who want to get their hands on for personal and financial gain. Unfortunately for us, that means that cybercriminals are constantly finding new and innovative ways to get a hold of it.

Online businesses, in particular, are a huge target for cybercriminals because of all the interesting, sensitive and lucrative financial data they hold on their customers and clients. However, it is not just online businesses who are a target, individuals are just as vulnerable to cybercrime as businesses.

Although cybercrime cannot be stopped so easily, we can still take measures to prevent it. Thanks to the rise in cybercrime, the cybersecurity industry has grown exponentially and is now worth a whopping $120 billion. This is only going to rise as cybercrime becomes more of a problem in our modern online world.

Many people fail to appreciate just how much of a problem cybercrime is. It is a serious problem which costs large companies millions of dollars per year in remedying it and investing in cybersecurity solutions.
