    A simple email address may be where the cyber-criminal starts. Armed with your email address, a cybercriminal will send you a phishing email that lures you to a phishing site where you may enter more personal information such as your name and bank account or credit card details.

    A cybercriminal can add to the personal information he or she has on a victim by researching the victim online, e.g., visiting their Facebook page, LinkedIn site, or searching Google. If the cybercriminal has infiltrated the victim's PC with malware, they are able to obtain more personal information such as login usernames and passwords, credit card numbers, date of birth, etc. The more information the criminal is able to gather-- including a social security number, phone number, or address – all adds to the value of the information and the likelihood that the cybercriminal will succeed in impersonating the victim online and drain the victim's bank account of money, use his or her personal credit card, obtain a fraudulent identity card, or any number of other criminal acts.
