Abstract: An understanding of the human element in cybercrime can provide deeper insights into assessing the damage malicious attacks can cause and strengthen defence against such attacks. This paper outlines the little insights we do have on the human elements of cybercrime and the need to undertake more research into the psychological and behavioural aspects of cybercriminals, as well as those of their victims. This is in order to better detect, prevent and respond to cybercriminals and cybercrimes in the future.
