Cybercrimineel wants appreciation and satisfaction

london - The satisfaction of solving a problem, the appreciation of friends, there is the cybercriminals in the first place to do, and not about the money. That concludes the British justice after investigation.

The researchers spoke to cybercriminals and people who were at the threshold of the crime. A convicted said, 'It made me popular, I enjoyed that feeling, I admired the users with the best reputations.'

Some start at cheat sites and modding forums. From there they come to hacking forums. DDoS services and trojans are now readily available and accessible, which reduces the threshold.

Cybercriminals come from all over the country and from all backgrounds, but they appear to be significantly younger than other criminals. The average cybercrime suspect was only 17 years old in 2015. In drug cases, the average age was 37, at fraud 39. According to the researchers, cybercriminals do not quickly move to other forms of crime.
