Speaking of the most well-known cybercrimes of the XXI century, we can highlight a few cases. One of the most famous cyberattacks was releasing a WannaCry virus. This program blocked a computer and extorted money from its owner to unblock the system. It was the reason for a collapse in the work of banks, airports, and governmental organisations. Another famous cyberattack had a male name that is popular in Russia. Petya (NotPetya or ExPetr) appeared in March 2016. It was intended to attack the largest corporate networks of different companies and civil services worldwide. Petya was a sophisticated financial guy: it also encrypted the files and asked for payment, but in Bitcoins. After getting paid, Petya acted dishonestly: it destroyed the hard drive. The last cyber attack to be mentioned by us is the mass information leakage from Facebook in 2020. Presumably, the data were stolen for fishing – sending SPAM emails with links that could block people's computers.
