Poverty, unemployment, and the responsibility to feed their children are reasons that trigger hackers to steal from others’ bank accounts in Brazil. This modest assault in people’s bank account is creating a headache for law enforcement agencies around the world. Why cyber crime and how to defend from these unscrupulous cyber criminals are some of the indications given in the newspaper article What makes cyber criminal?
published by the BBC.
Access to the internet is possible for everyone who lives near a cyber café since the cost is minimum. It is widely known that hackers steal money but what is surprising from Brazilian hackers is that they steal in small amounts to rich people so that the victims do not notice what is missing in their accounts. Hackers in Brazil are just practising what they could do next; they are trained by foreign hackers so as to become a real one. What surprises me most Is that hacker in Brazil are considered as “pupils”.
On the opposite band, the government and banks are deeply worried. Banks do not want to speak about this issue openly since it puts their business and credibility in danger. Both banks and authorities ask people not to answer back unknown emails, to keep anti-malware programmes so that it avoids any sort of intromission from cyber criminals. Unfortunately this position taken by the government those of suggesting bank users are not enough to stop these cyber criminal.
To sum up, it seems that the control on the net and the negative side of being smuggled can not be avoided at last in Brazil where hacker take advantage of people’s ignorance on the issue.
