What are the characteristics of cybercrime? What are the characteristics of cybercrime

The first is the concealment of criminal methodsIn the virtual space constituted by the Internet, the identities of the participants are virtualized, and anyone can wear a mask to push themselves on the Internet. The concealment of their crimes is mainly manifested in the following: the scope of the crime is generally not limited by time and place, and they can commit crimes at any time and place in a certain province, a certain city, or even a certain country; The offender can control the time when the result of the crime occurs as he wishes; The time for committing the crime is short, ranging from a few minutes to a few seconds; Crimes leave no traces, there is no specific place for expression and objective manifestation, it is not easy to identify, it is not easy to be discovered, it is not easy to detect, and the crime coefficient is high.

Second, the modern network systems with high intelligence and nuclear retardation of criminals all pay more attention to network security issues, and all provide some security precautions for the network, and the perpetrators must have a high professional level in order to crack the security system and hack into the computer system. Therefore, cybercriminals are mainly professionals who have mastered computer technology, especially network technology. They have insight into the defects and vulnerabilities of the network, and use a wealth of computer and network technology to launch attacks on network systems and various electronic data and other information with the help of a network that extends in all directions, and carry out sabotage.

Third, the seriousness of the harm caused by the crimeTraditional crime is generally limited to one time and one place, targeting a specific crime or an unspecified number within a certain range, while cybercrime may cause damage to the world's network, and may even be unable to predict or control the damage of the perpetrator himself. Any intentional or unintentional attack on the network can cause the paralysis of thousands of computing machine changers on the network. In particular, crimes involving economic interests committed in cyberspace usually cause relatively large illegal profits or objectively greater damages.

Fourth, the "illusory" cybercrime itself is different from traditional crime, and cybercrime is covered with a veil of elegance, so that people do not regard it as an ordinary and real crime. Cybercrime is usually not accompanied by violence, and the perpetrators are mostly polite, drinking coffee, sitting in front of a computer and tapping a few keyboards to commit crimes. Cybercrime generally does not directly target the public, so that its social harm is blocked to a certain extent.

This characteristic of cybercrime can easily lead to the deviation of people's judgment, especially teenagers, and many teenagers look at cybercrime with reverence. The gentle veil of cybercrime has clouded the eyes of many people, and people not only fail to see clearly cybercrime and its serious harmfulness, but consciously and resolutely struggle against it, but on the contrary, they have a mentality of "reverence" for it, and even worship cybercriminals.
