What happened? • In this scenario the victim was scammed by email. The victim provided the scammer with their bank information and as a result the scammer took the information and drained the bank account of the victim. How to Recognize this situation as Fraud • Phishing is the practice of sending fraudulent communications that appear to come from a legitimate and reputable source, usually through email and text messaging. The attacker's goal is to steal money, gain access to sensitive data and login information, or to install malware on the victim's device (Merriam Webster). In this case the criminal presents a situation where they are in need of money because their money is unavailable, and the criminal puts pressure by saying they need to escape the country after their parents' death.

Other types of Cybercrimes • Phishing: Using fake email messages to get personal information from internet users • Identity Theft: Misusing personal information • Hacking: Shutting down or misusing websites or computer networks • Distributing: Can range from drugs to child pornography • Grooming: making sexual advances to minors. (Veiligheid, 2016)
hallenges of pursuing Cybercrimes • The unique challenges facing law enforcement in addressing cyber crime revolve around the nebulous nature of cyber crime. The initial stages of a cyber crime investigation involve a high degree of uncertainty. It is often difficult to quickly identify and assess what type of crime, if any, has been committed. (Kubie, 2001). • In most cases it can take up months to solve a case because in cases like this because the suspects can delete information or get rid of the device they were using, it also makes it difficult to know who the suspect is because they are more likely using another identity.
Negative impact Cybercrimes have on the community • Due to the anonymity of the offenders, the victims may never find out who their offender is. Cybercriminals can also target a variety of victims, for example, businesses, older people, even younger people by catfishing for money. Unfortunately, it is very hard to solve these crimes because to the criminals’ these types of crimes are low risk and have a high reward.

Strategies individuals should use to protect themselves from cybercrime • Start with turning on Multifactor Authentication- Opting-into an extra step when trusted websites and applications ask you to confirm you’re really who you say you are. This means that when accessing an app or a website, when you sign-in you will put your email and password, and if that information is correct then it will send you a text to phone number registered to the account and asked for the pin that was sent, or now phones will let you verify it is the person by asking for a fingerprint or face ID. • Use strong passwords • Think before you click- if there is a text that seems off or a link that looks suspicious, do not click it because then the device could be hacked. • Update Software- Criminals will exploit flaws in the system. Network defenders are working hard to fix them as soon as they can, but their work relies on all of us updating our software with their latest fixes. (Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, 2022)
