DESCRIPTION
Cybercrime: Risks from Social Media, Smart Phones & the Internet. The way users of the Internet, smart phones and social media share information has created a new level of risk from cyber-criminals. The wealth of detail on our habits, possessions, movements, locations, families and work has given criminals an array of different approaches through social engineering to target individuals and organisations. Blackmail and extortion have never been so easy!TRANSCRIPT
