| dc.description.abstract | Current Innovation and automation in contemporary organizations, as also occasioned by Covid-19 pandemic have found silver lining to sustainability and life changing experience for stakeholders. The intention to innovation has greater economic attributes, such as efficiency, cost effectiveness, Timeliness, among other principles. However, the perceived attributes of hope begins to fade away due to greed, maliciousness, fame, sabotage, insecurity, fraud and others. This has since bred fear, disparity and suspicion within organizations. Critical information resources are deemed compromised with negative impacts on finance, human and physical resources. This would hinder organizations’ perceived growth trajectory. The scenario of hopelessness activities in online platform is what Cybercrime is. Cybercrime is a Great Warfare, which is proving very difficult to be stopped or won. It’s being fuelled by latest the vibrant communication network platforms namely; Social media and mobile telephony infrastructures, with escalating trends in Cyber and Electronic Crimes. This war can be fought collectively by creating awareness, building secure and trusted systems, formulating stringent Legislations, Law enforcement, Investigation and Prosecution, which MUST lead to Conviction. Globally, many states are still in limbo on the awareness of Cybercrime despite the greater potentials in innovations. This situation could be a time bomb if enough care is not taken at the right time. This study assessed current Cybercrime trends globally for sensitization of the global community, to enable innovators and expertise to begin designing systems with security and privacy frameworks in mind, so that MOST critical sectors such as Computer sciences/I.T and Engineering, Healthcare and Higher Education institutions may begin gauging their relevant instruments in this warfare. | en_US |
