The Changing Face of Cybercrime as a Service: An Australian Perspective

Abstract:

Claims of unchecked sophisticated cyberattacks have raised important questions about the types of adversaries, the targets (victims), the changing nature of cybercrime, and the legal ramifications that lead to successful prosecutions. The ease of access to services, such as botnets that can be deployed on behalf of customers by third-party providers, has no doubt encouraged non-technical customers to engage in cyber warfare. As such, they could be legitimately prosecuted; such prosecutions are, however, rare, due to a range of limitations. This article examines the legal and practical issues arising from the evolution of Cybercrime as a Service from a technical to a business-driven model.

Categorising Cybercrime and Cybercriminals: The Problem and How It Has Changed

Abstract:

Twenty years ago, the Journal of Information Warfare published a paper examining the problem of cybercrime and the nature of those responsible for it. Taking its cue from the title of the original paper, this sequel begins by reflecting upon the situation of two decades ago, before jumping forward to examine the landscape of today.

Development and Implementation of Cybercrime Strategies in Africa with Specific Reference to South Africa

Abstract: 

Cybercrime is increasing at a rate few individuals would have predicted. IBM estimated in 2016 that, in 2019, the cost of cybercrime would reach $2 trillion, a threefold increase from the 2015 estimate of $500 billion. The growth of the Internet and the rapid development of technology provide enormous economic and social benefits but at the same time provide platforms for cyber-criminals to exploit. Organised crime is using more sophisticated techniques, which require highly skilled and specialised law enforcement responses.

Utilising Journey Mapping and Crime Scripting to Combat Cybercrime and Cyber Warfare Attacks

Abstract:

This paper discusses ways in which utilising methods from typically non-cyber disciplines, business and criminology, can successfully be applied to the cyber domain to aid the fight  against  and  the  prevention  of  cyber-attacks,  including  those  used  in  cyber  warfare. Through the provision of a visual representation, this paper clarifies how journey mapping and crime scripting can help build an understanding of the steps criminals or adversaries in general undertake during the execution of a cybercrime or cyber-warfare attack.
