As technology continues to integrate into our everyday lives, we are seeing a rising trend in cybercrime. Cybercrime is any criminal activities carried out through the internet. Cybercrime can come in many forms. The most common cybercrimes are phishing and hacking. Cybercrimes usually involve illegally obtaining a person’s identity and sensitive data and information. Most cybercriminals normally try to target small businesses and corporations because of their plethora of records and information on their clients and customers.
Hacking and cybercrime was originally known as more of a vigilante cause and usually hacked political figures or organization for a type of justice or "revenge for the people" mindset and motive. Now days, this is not the case. Cybercrime and hacking has turned into a new outlet for organized crime. Today, cybercriminals are usually committing these acts strictly for financial gain and with no revenge plot, strictly crime. This is important to realize and to take into consideration. Cybercriminals are looking for a payout and a way to go virtually unseen.
As technology continues to progress, cybercriminals will become more knowledgeable and have the ability to strike harder.

Cybercrime is easy to hide and destroy most evidence, making it hard to find and prosecute cybercriminals.
