Turns out most cybercriminals are old enough to know better
Summary
Law enforcement data indicates that the majority of cybercriminals apprehended are between the ages of 35 and 44, challenging the perception that cybercrime is primarily a domain of younger individuals. This demographic is driven by profit and is not simply engaging in "script kiddie" activities.
IFF Assessment
This is bad news for defenders as it indicates that more experienced and potentially more sophisticated actors, who are old enough to know better, are actively engaged in financially motivated cybercrime.
Defender Context
Defenders should recognize that experienced individuals, not just opportunistic youth, are involved in cybercrime. This suggests a need for more robust and mature security strategies that account for the sophisticated tactics and motivations of a more seasoned criminal element.
