Cybercrime is unfortunately as evergreen a topic as the problem itself—which is why we’re re-running this popular security episode all about the criminal industry of cybercrime from 2019.
The idea of the cybercriminal as lone wolf or hobby hacker is no longer much of a reality. Instead, the business of cybercrime looks a lot more like a large, global technology business, with many of the same structures, challenges, and even casts of characters that legitimate businesses have. In this conversation, CFI ’s Joel de la Garza, CFI operating partner for information security (formerly CSO of Box and head Citigroup’s Cyber Intelligence Center), and Hanne Tidnam, discuss with Jonathan Lusthaus, Director of the Human Cybercriminal Project at the University of Oxford, the evolution of cybercrime into a sprawling and sophisticated international industry.
