This paper explores both the scope and the intentions of hackers ?and furthermore, how enterprises are victimised, especially in terms of identity theft. It was important to us to understand the minds of hackers; therefore we spent time analysing their psychological and sociological drivers as well as their intentions and methodologies. We examined recent abstracts and research projects conducted by prominent academics and experts, including an empiric study by the German Bundeskriminalamt (BKA) that aims to sensitise society in terms of identity theft, underlining theory with examples from the real world. The discussion then turns to issues of accountability and outcomes, and describes best security practices for thwarting identity-related crime with a solution-orientated approach.
