Cybercrime and Cyber Threats

Excerpt  “Few threats are as dangerous to American public safety and national security as the harm posed by malicious cyber activity. As FBI Director Chris Wray recently noted, most national security and criminal threats are committed or facilitated using cyber means. The threats in cyberspace include botnets consisting of millions of compromised devices that criminals deploy to cause destruction; sophisticated transnational organized syndicates that profit from the mass theft and sale of sensitive personal information; and foreign adversaries that break laws for commercial or geopolitical advantage. The Department of Justice works on the front lines in combating cyber threats.” (footnote omitted)
