The time has come to make a choice. Do we passively watch these events taking their own course or do we take an active stance now and restore order to our newly created domain? So far only those who have already been hit and major companies who stand to lose millions if they are hit have taken active measures. The vast majority has yet to practise the same level of caution in the cyberrealm as it does in the real world.

It is no co-incidence that cybercrime rates have had an exponential increase over the past decade globally while “real world” crime rates have stayed largely constant. As long as our attitudes towards cybercrime remain as they are, the situation will continue to worsen. Who knows what the world will be like five or ten years from now if cybercrime rates continue to increase at this rate?

Everybody knows that prevention is better than cure. But it is always the case that no matter how advanced your levels and methods of protection are, they are not perfect.

The fight against cybercrime must start with preventing it in the first place.
