Teenagers require 'very little skill' to become cybercriminals, report reveals

"Very little skill" is required to become a cyber criminal, according to a new report. Research from the National Crime Agency (NCA) claims that free "off-the-shelf" hacking tools, online tutorials and video guides are making it increasingly easy for young people become involved in cyber crime. The report also says that, while financial gain is a key incentive for some offenders, it isn't always key, with many instead motivated by a "sense of accomplishment" and building a reputation. The average age of the young offenders involved in the study was 17, and the NCA says they're "unlikely" to commit more traditional crimes, such as theft, fraud and sexual offences. The I.F.O. is fuelled by eight electric engines, which is able to push the flying object to an estimated top speed of about 120mph.
