Cyber Crimes involve a computer and the Internet. They can affect any location in the world and be launched from any location. Unlike traditional crimes, where the perpetrator must be in a location near the victims, cyber crimes have no boundaries.
A report by Cybersecurity Ventures predicts global cyber crime costs to grow by 15% per year, reaching $10.5 trillion USD by 2025—up from $3 trillion USD in 2015. “This represents the greatest transfer of economic wealth in history, risks the incentives for innovation and investment, is exponentially larger than the damage inflicted from natural disasters in a year, and will be more profitable than the global trade of all major illegal drugs combined,” the report states.
Without boundaries, cyber crimes should be handled by an international organization like Crime Stoppers Global Solutions (CSGS). And our anonymous tip program is up to the task.
The major types of cyber crimes CSGS focuses on are:
- Financial Fraud
- Cyber Terrorism
- Cyber Extortion
- Cyber Warfare
- Online Harassment
- Internet Crimes Against Children
Our goal at CSGS is to provide people with a method for anonymously reporting cyber crimes and to then direct the tips to the right jurisdiction and stakeholders.
