Abstract

This chapter draws upon literatures on psychology, economics, international relation, and warfare to propose a framework to explain international heterogeneity in cybercrimes. We found that countries across the world differ in terms of regulative, normative, and cognitive legitimacy to different types of web attacks. Cyber-wars and crimes are also functions of the stocks of hacking skills relative to the availability of economic opportunities. An attacking unit’s selection criteria for the target network include symbolic significance and criticalness, degree of digitization of values, and weakness in defense mechanisms.
