My case study proposal is below:
This paper will focus on cybercriminals in Africa known as the “Yahoo Boys” and their effect on consumers worldwide. Africa has been amongst the fastest-growing areas in terms of cybercrime activities. The continent is also a source of significant cyberattacks targeting the rest of the world. Nevertheless, several actions have been taken to deal with cyber threats as well as improve cybersecurity in the continent. Many nations in the continent have developed regulations to combat these cyber threats, and have also strengthened enforcement measures. Private-sector efforts have also been undertaken to enhance cybersecurity. Cybercriminals “Yahoo Boys” in Nigeria continue to operate as well as enhance their scams with technology devices: VPN applications to mask their place, image manipulation software application to produce false appearances, benefiting from bitcoin anonymity to receive fraudulent earnings, as well as developing website’s for phishing and also even more.” Yahoo boys” are believed to annually cause billions of U.S. dollars in damages to millions of individuals all over the world. Yahoo boys have organized themselves into tightly knit communities of practice where shared involvement, joint business, as well as a common collection of stories, jargon, as well as discussion are key attributes. This mode of organization has enabled the Yahoo boys to successfully distribute the primarily tacit skills as well as understanding required for desired success in Internet scams. Skills, tools, and services not found in the community of practice are sourced through an external network of suppliers located both in the criminal and legitimate business sectors. Although most of the Yahoo boys’ innovations would be labeled imitations in the strictest definition of the term, they have adopted new technologies to their local context and rapidly exploited new markets and sources of supply to warrant the term innovation being applied. Cybercrime is a major trouble in Africa’s fast-growing eCommerce market. According to forecasts made by McKinsey Global Institute, “by 2025, Africa’s shopping market will reach $75 billion in annual shopping sales, a growth pattern that will be supported by the net contribution of $300 billion to GDP” (Manyika 2013). With the globe’s second-largest populace of web users, Africa has more than 400 million web individuals, a task that only China goes beyond. Nonetheless, cybercrime in Africa has provided making use of the net particularly for e-commerce purposes to be a very high-risk venture. For instance in South Africa, where online shoppers spend the most on consumer products, more than any other country on the continent, about 19,842 cyberattacks are reported in a day. On average, 570 cyberattacks are recorded every one hour in South Africa. Governments across Africa should embed cybersecurity education in all levels of the education curriculum.
