Presentation Title: Online Crime and Crime Online
Presentation Abstract:

Who’s really behind the network attacks? Who’s launching the phishing scams? Who runs the botnets? How do they hide their malware? Where are they reselling the stolen bank accounts and credit card numbers? How do they move their money around? How do they recruit their money mules? What do these guys look like and how does all this really work? Is this the perfect crime?
