A creation of human beings, computers can be used for attaining new heights of success and can also be used as a weapon of crime.
Given ahead are some reasons why cyber crime is gradually increasing. First of all, computer can store large data in small space making it convenient. The complex technology always leaves a space for error and hackers can easily take benefit of this loophole. The reason why cyber crime is growing day by day is because people find this as an effective way of making easy money as well as gaining fame. You would be surprised to know that there is a whole group of professional hackers who are employed with huge packages to hack the site of rivals for gaining company’s information. Some people commit cyber crime in frustration with their job and with life in general. There are others who find this as a way of gaining fame and money.
