Unit 8 Assignment 1: Organized Cybercrimes Cybercrime is on the rise. As companies try to protect their customers PII, criminals are trying to get it. Ponemon Institute did a survey of how the information was affecting larger companies (Institute, 2014). Unfortunately the hackers are using the information to ruin their credit. Russian hackers obtained 1.2 billion usernames and passwords (Institute, 2014). Well the best remedy would be to use cash for everything and keep off of databases. It is easier said than done. As long as there is information available, for hackers to steal, then they will attempt to obtain it.
