Cyber Criminal Activity White Team

Perhaps this page can get us started in the directions we want to pursue.

Cyber Criminal Activity:

Trace history of cyber criminal activity, evolution from intrusion to botnets as platforms for global criminal activity.

Profile the evolution of attackers, targets, defenders, vulnerabilities, threats, and goals of attacks. Where are the trends pointing?

Issues

These are some recent topics from the news.

  • botnets
  • Rootkits
  • Instant messaging worms
  • Organized crime and cyber criminality
  • Phishing (just saw a new one that pretends there's a class action lawsuit against a company and needs you to sign up)
  • Pharming

Possible Subtopics

  • Avichal
    • Cyberforensics (My main topic now)
    • Organized Cybercrime - scopy only to study the shift of focus from lone hackers to organized groups (this can be an addendum to another main topic , e.g. evolution, future, etc.)
  • Chris
    • Evolution of Cybercrime
    • Future Direction of Cybercrime & Countermeasures
