  Cybercrime is a significant challenge to society, but it can be particularly
harmful to the individuals who become victims. This chapter engages in a
comprehensive and topical analysis of the cybercrimes that target individuals.
It also examines the motivation of criminals that perpetrate such attacks and
the key human factors and psychological aspects that help to make
cybercriminals successful. Key areas assessed include social engineering (e.g.,
phishing, romance scams, catfishing), online harassment (e.g., cyberbullying,
trolling, revenge porn, hate crimes), identity-related crimes (e.g., identity
theft, doxing), hacking (e.g., malware, cryptojacking, account hacking), and
denial-of-service crimes. As a part of its contribution, the chapter introduces
a summary taxonomy of cybercrimes against individuals and a case for why they
will continue to occur if concerted interdisciplinary efforts are not pursued.
