The industrialization of cybercrime may be upon us

We are slowly seeing the “industrialization” of cybercrime according to an expert.

Dr. Adrian Nish, head of cyber threat intelligence at BAE, said that cybercriminals are becoming more “professionalized”, the Telegraph reported.

He explained: “They are running phone support scams, writing their own software that comes with service agreements and money-back guarantees if the code gets detected with the promise of a replacement.”

The UK broadsheet newspaper also revealed that the defense group is facing relentless rounds of cyberattacks.

The company said that this happens at least twice a week, with cybercriminals attempting to steal sensitive defense secrets.

BAE Systems, which is the world’s third largest arms group in the world, claimed that foreign government-backed attackers are behind the attacks.
