They would use the local internet, telecommunication connections, utility, electricity and many
more infrastructural advantages offering them a suitable work process. Also, they would deal
with the local suppliers and contractors which would produce many of those to them.

So commonly, the companies coming from a developed world would use a certain amount of
cyber protection being aware of the consequences of hacker’s attacks and the rest of intruder’s
activities.

On the other hand, the trouble is they would stay open to attacks coming from their suppliers or
unreliable local internet providers.

Let’s say that some local small business may be a supplier to some big western’s company
offering it some qualitative goods and services for a quite suitable price. Maybe, such a
company would get set up some cyber defense infrastructure and deal with some sort of
security procedures and policies at a work, but its small supplier would not pay any attention to
a cybersecurity.

Those suppliers would so easily get a target to a skillful hacker’s attack and the bad guys would
obtain many confidential information about everyone including that successful western’s
business.

Following such a track – they so easily may come to the origin of the business being in that
developed country, so they may sell some details on a black marketplace or eventually publish
some information on the web making those small businesses collapse and that developed
country’s company getting a compromise to its reputation.

Also, we would mention that the local internet providers would not offer a top quality web service
and so often many malware and the other malicious applications would get present with that
region’s web.

It’s a usual case that every area worldwide would have their local malware developers who
would share their efforts with the hacker’s community, so quite frequently those pieces of code
would stay undetected using some standard anti-malware software.

That’s how many computers in the US and Europe could be infected and people would not
recognize that, because their anti-malware database would not match such malicious software
to any known malware being discovered until then.

For all of those reasons, it’s important to raise awareness about these concerns worldwide. The
developed countries would get an interest to invest into developing regions for a reason of
taking advantage over their inexpensive and qualitative workforce, while poor countries would
see that activity as a chance to create new employments and decline the level of poverty there.
