Introduction
Central Internet Agency (CIA)
A report was just sent to the Director of the Central Internet Agency (CIA) stating that people that use the internet are unaware of the possible dangers it poses.
The report provided the following information:
- Approximately 556 million people are victims of some sort of cyber-crime every year
- Identity theft has about 232 million victims per year
