Yes this in my topic in this post ;Football and cybercrime ,maybe you think that there is no relationship between them,but I tell you there is. These days Internet application increases ,and many Internet users doing their works via the Internet from buying books from the Amazon or buying ticket for a football mach .Now you see the relationship,as online ticketing for football match become more popular , it's create another area of cyber crime ,especially for the important event such as FIFA world cup 2010 that so many football fans want to catch tickets of their national team matches . According to Walter Tapfumanei, communication officer, Africa Agency for ICT Development. "The problem is that so many people are competing for tickets to the World Cup. In the process, many of them are getting swindled through phishing and fake online promotions for tickets to the event."
In 2009 South Africa was at number 50 on the list of countries where most attacks took place and has jumped 7 places to number 43 in 2010 which is mainly due to FIFA world cup effects. This is not the end of story ,I 'm sure that it will become more popular in the future that many football fans loose their money in this way.So,it is important for both issuers and buyers of online tickets to be aware of fraud activities on the Internet.
