Rapid Growth – Get Financial Crimes and Cybercrime Interpol

Date:

According to a report by the international police organization Interpol, police officers view cybercrime and financial crime as the biggest threats worldwide. As the Lyon-based authority announced, it also anticipates that these crime areas will increase significantly in the coming years.

With 195 member states, Interpol is the most important police organization in the world. On Wednesday, the authority released its first report on global crime trends, which is not publicly available as of now. He must be available to law enforcement agencies.

Ransomware Among the Biggest Threats
“Understanding crime trends and anticipating them is an absolute foundation of police work,” Interpol was quoted as saying by Secretary General Juergen Stock. More than 60 percent of police officers surveyed for the report identified money laundering, internet fraud, phishing and ransomware as a high or very high risk. In so-called ransomware attacks, computers are encrypted by malware and thus rendered unusable. Phishing means data theft, for example with fake websites or emails.

According to the report, online fraud, money laundering and synthetic drug trafficking are seen as the biggest current threats in Europe. More than three quarters of the respondents also assume that the number of sexual abuse of children on the internet will increase significantly in the next three to five years.
