Explanation:

and viruses.

Identity Theft

Along with protecting a business against ransomware, businesses must protect consumer information. Identity theft concerns consumers. Companies of all sizes are susceptible to data breaches. Major companies from leading industries have been hacked with consumer personal information stolen. Hackers obtain everything from names, dates of birth and Social Security information to addresses and other contact information that is used to create phony accounts. Not properly protecting private information is costly to businesses and can result in legal fines and private lawsuits.

Financial Theft

Some hackers don't steal the information but instead hack systems to divert financial information input away from the company to steal money. For example, a hacker might redirect the donation system of a non profit organization and have the money sent to an offshore account controlled by the hacker. This unethical practice essentially tricks a website buyer into thinking a website transaction is complete when, in fact, the business never gets notice of the sale, and the money is lost offshore.

Intellectual Property Theft

Piracy isn't the only type of intellectual property that is unethically distributed by computer use. Competitors use any number of methods to gain access to proprietary information that other companies pay millions to develop. Theft often includes patented or patent-pending information. Intellectual property theft is often achieved by internal moles or contract workers who have access to a company's computer server. While security protocols with virus protection usually help prevent external theft, it is difficult to protect against internal infractions.
