Analysis of modern scientific opinion on the study of the development and counteraction of cybercrime

Abstract

The work provides an analysis of modern scientific thought in the field of cyber security. It has been found that there are different cybercrimes and cybercriminals often target specific targets for cyberattacks for different reasons. Cybercrimes are not limited by geographical boundaries and can occur all over the world. The prevalence of specific types of cybercrime can vary from country to country, depending on factors such as economic conditions, the level of Internet use and the general development of the phenomenon in the region. Phishing, hacking, DDoS attacks, SQL injections, zero-day exploits, cross-site scripting, attacks on Internet of Things (IoT) devices, cross-site request forgery (CSRF) are common cybercrimes in the financial sector in different countries with different methods in developed countries and developing countries. Anyone can become a victim of cybercrime: individual Internet users, businesses and corporations, educational institutions, government agencies, and others. Subsequently, there are many different methods of cyber security training that are put into practice. However, these training efforts are not effective enough, and one of the often cited reasons is user onboarding issues. Essentially, users are not engaging with the training provided to the extent necessary to get the proper benefit from the training. While the acceptance and implementation of particular training methods is discussed in the scientific literature, there is little coherent research on the factors that influence user adaptation.
