Mass Victimization Net Crime Not Far Off - Gartner Mass victimization crime, or online theft from thousands of people simultaneously by one individual, is less than two years away and the perpetrator will probably get away with it, researchers predict.

"Using mundane, readily available technologies that have already been deployed by both legitimate and illegitimate businesses, cybercriminals can now surreptitiously steal millions of dollars, a few dollars at a time, from millions of individuals simultaneously," Gartner Research Fellow Richard Hunter said in a news release. "Moreover, they are very likely to get away with the crime."
