How does cyber technology impact interactions between offenders and victims?
With the introduction of the internet to almost all possible devices, the possibilities have been endless in the interactions between both the offender and the victim as many participate in scams and are exposed to malicious software every day. The interaction that is extremely dangerous and popular today are the use and possibility of anonymous accounts that can operate without a trace via the internet as well. The use of Anon accounts allows cyber criminal to remain hidden from authorized users, and allow for them to continue carrying out said crimes without being help responsible. This is scary and bad for your networks and devices, but by taking safety precautions and being a informed user you can help avoid being taken advantage of. This also opens up more offender and victime interaction if the victims network isnt safe, or possibly exposed allowing the offender to attack via denial of service, which can cause later data and security breaches if not properly taken care of. This denial of service could be the beginning of a cyber attack and from there you would be set at an immediate disadvantage. To conclude, the opportunities granted for users to be exposed to their attackers are far greater than we can count or imagine we encounter. The only way to stay safe from these attackers is to use safe cyber practices to make sure we are not being compromised.
