Cybercrime encompasses a wide range of criminal activities that are carried out using digital devices and/or networks. These crimes involve the use of technology to commit fraud, identity theft, data breaches, computer viruses, scams, and expanded upon in other malicious acts. Internationally, both state and non-state actors engage in cybercrimes, including espionage, financial theft, and other cross-border crimes.

Warren Buffett has described that cybercrime is the "number one problem with mankind" and that it "poses real risks to humanity".
