The number of cybercrime cases have increased exponentially in the last couple of years. With each passing year, the cybercrimes become more diverse and cyber criminals become more sophisticated. The explosion of connectivity in addition to growth of the cloud services and internet of things have given cyber criminals more potential targets and discovery of new avenues of attack. Today's cyber criminals target elections, industrial control system, and cause digital wildfires. In the future, they may even target human life. “Global Risks 2018” report reveals that cybercrimes are increasing both in prevalence and disruptive potential and predicts them as one of the top five global risks. This article gives a brief overview of the emerging cybercrimes and their impacts worldwide and solutions to combat this crime.
