Many crimes are typically committed for financial gain. The same applies to cybercrime which is being conducted more frequently for financial gain.
Financial fraud incidences have increased in tandem with the enormous expansion in the usage of Mobile banking, Internet banking, Mobile Wallets, e-commerce, and online share trading.
