What does CRO means to you?

“Once you connect to the internet, you’re a target. Everyone from Nation State, Scammers, Groomers, Hackers or even organized crime are searching for their next victim. The internet use to be a place that you could use to explore the world and learn. Now, it is infested with criminal activity, pornography and dangers to our everyway day of life. Elderly people are targeted due to their lack of knowledge in technology and tricked out of an average 5 to 6 figures of their savings. Kids are groomed in order to get pictures and when they send them, they are victims of sextortion. People’s lives are being ruined everyday and they do not have a fighting chance. I feel it is a duty for the people that have the knowledge to combat these crimes to join together and help the vulnerable. If we all joined together collectively and worked together then we can prevent many of these crimes before they start and also easily target these crimes when they happen. Most of the time, cases do not get opened by law enforcement because there is not enough evidence. However, if victims knew how to properly collect the evidence and use technology against the malicious actor then it would be much more effective. There is a higher chance that a case can get opened and actioned. If better reporting mechanisms could be created in order to flag cases and central collection of this type of data globally then we will start making an impact. This is the reason that I would like to be part of the CRO, to join together with like-minded people that would like to see a solution instead of hearing complaints about the problem. It is my dream that everyone, young & old, can safely connect to the internet without the thread of being targeted.”
