Cyber-attack is also referred to as Computer Network Attack (CAN). Cyber-attackers usually use those malicious codes to alter computer codes, data or logic hence leading to consequences that are disruptive and can compromise information leading to cyber crimes (Nykodym, Taylor and Vilela, 2005). These include information as well as identity theft. However, it’s difficult to estimate the impact of cybercrime; there are a lot of terrorist acts in the digital era. In this concern, the continents must form agencies to monitor and counter the threats globally (McQuade, 2006).

The crime negatively, affects the economy, national security and developed infrastructure. Large corporations are more worried about cybercrime as opposed to small businesses. Hence, there is a need to take corrective measures to protect their businesses against cyber-attacks. Business losses during attack, a customer data fraud in which information the information is stolen would likely cause some lock-down. The action of correction often depends on response of a service provider; time-consuming, a frustrating, and costly affair. Costs are likely to result in total losses of revenue for at least for some days. Loss of company, proprietary information, like product designs, record of customer, employee information and company strategies is often conceded or stolen outright. Protection costs The most significant cybercrime cost should also be the first outlay: prevention. Any size of businesses size need to device a strategy to safeguard against the cybercrime reality.

However the question comes, how can continents regulate cybercrime? It becomes difficult to regulate and charge convicts of the offense; this is because it is quite difficult to develop jurisdictional border and level of the prosecution to be taken. But as there is rapid change in technology, it must be followed by advanced laws to protect those who use the internet in the world. The continents must come up with a different act to protect businesses, finance as well as private companies against such crime. The federal courts should look into the prosecution of cybercrime (Nykodym, Taylor and Vilela, 2005).
