Categorizations of cybercrime generally span four primary classifications based on the target and method: 1) crimes against individuals, such as identity theft, phishing scams, and cyberstalking; 2) crimes against property, including malware distribution, ransomware lockdown, and intellectual property theft; 3) crimes against government or critical infrastructure systems, such as state-sponsored cyber espionage and sabotage; and 4) organized financial cybercrime, involving business email compromise, digital extortion, and unauthorized electronic fund transfers.
