The increasing access to and subsequent use of technology has dramatically impacted the way in which people communicate and conduct their daily lives. The internet for example connects people and companies from opposite sides of the world quickly, easily, and relatively cheaply. However, the internet and computer can be used in negative ways, which can have destructive impact on societies. Cybercrime is a threat against different organisations and people who computers connected to the internet and particularly mobile technology. Cybercrime can be defined as a type of crime committed by cybercriminals who use a computer as a tool and the internet as a connection in order to reach a variety of objectives such as fraud, illegal downloading of files such as music and films, and spam mailing which is sending a phony e-mail in order to steal private information or access to a protected website (Cross, 2002:2). Cybercrime is a concern that has been attracting media attention since 1945, when the United Nations created an international cooperation and collective security network of 192 countries to cooperate and solve international problems and one of a growing issue is cybercrime (Portnoy and Goodman, 2009).
