Generally, the reason why hackers target big companies, big countries, big places is because they can get a lot of things from there. But the bigger the country, the bigger the corporate house, the bigger the lock is used. That is, their security system is strengthened.

Common people are easy targets for them. Even if they get only a few things while hacking common people's devices, they collect little by little from many people and make a lot . Some new hackers also use it to target common people . Children, teenagers and older generations are the most vulnerable to cyber attacks . Small and medium businesses are also at risk . 

Looking at the data of the last three years, the incidence of cyber crime has doubled every year. In the year 2021/22, there were about 4 thousand 5 hundred such incidents and in the year 2022/23 it reached 9 thousand . In 2023/24, it increased to 19 thousand . If this number increases, it will reach 35/40 thousand in 2024/25.

This includes internet fraud, banking fraud, spam, phishing. There is a tendency to lure people in one way or another and finally extort money from them . Such activities are done through email, SMS, social media.
