The number of skilled malware
producer is not much, it has limited in the world, leading to Digital
Marketing Agency reported.
There are only “around 100”
cybercriminal kingpins behind global cybercrime, according to the head of
Europol's Cybercrime Centre.
Troels Oerting said that law
enforcers needed to target the "rather limited group of good programmers”.
“We roughly know who they are.
If we can take them out of the equation then the rest will fall down,” he said.
Although, he added, fighting cybercrime remained an uphill battle.
“This is not a static number,
it will increase unfortunately," he said. "We can still cope but the
criminals have more resources and they do not have obstacles.
They are driven by greed and
profit and they produce malware at a speed that we have difficulties catching
up with.”
“The biggest issue facing
cybercrime fighters at the moment was the fact that it was borderless”, he told
the BBC.
“Criminals no longer come to
our countries, they commit their crimes from a distance and because of this I
cannot use the normal tools to catch them”.
