Summary/Abstract: Digitization has taken over the whole world and it’s terrifying. The reason behind this is that the Internet offers many options for its users, some of which are very productive. Unfortunately, it also creates a space for hackers to operate freely and achieve their goals. As the number of internet users is increasing, cybercrime victimization is at the highest rate every day. Cybercrime is a new term that defines illegal activity that involves a network, computer, or network device. Cybercrime is a criminal offense committed against individuals or institutions. Anyone can be a victim of cybercrime. As a result, combating this type of crime presents a new challenge for law enforcement. It is crucial to understand the risks and consequences to take appropriate measures to protect the victims of such crimes. The paper is prepared based on other works to finally conclude that cybercrime is a worldwide problem, and no one is immune to it. We must raise awareness of the possible consequences and prevent future cyber victimization before it’s too late.
