Summary

“Cybercrime is an ongoing and escalating challenge for both the public and private sectors around the globe. It’s no longer effective to view cybercrime solely through the lens of a specific criminal or type of crime. Rather, cybercrime is now a large and diverse enterprise, often available for sale, to commit a variety of attacks, such as fraud, theft, and spying. It could be financially motivated, or nation state supported, or both.” Microsoft Digital Defense Report sep 2020.
