- #13 Targeting the 'one percent' While cybercriminals may target a specific company or a government entity, they don't generally spend time targeting an individual because the potential financial payoff isn't worth their time. But wealthy consumers are the exception, said Stephen Coggeshall, chief analytics and science officer at identity theft firm LifeLock. "I would expect cybercriminals to take a more active eye toward the wealthy, the 1 percenters," Coggeshall said. "If criminals think they can get some serious money from a victim, they can afford to spend more time on an individualized attack." Even if you're part of the "99 percent," Coggeshall warns consumers should avoid giving out information like birthdays, employers and other biographical details on Facebook and other sites. Criminals can be crafty about leveraging this information.
