Without a Trace - Cybercrime, Who are the Offenders?

Presented at DeepSec 2018 „I like to mov &6974,%bx“, Unknown date/time (Unknown duration)

Cybercrime is a worldwide and diverse phenomenon, which needs multidisciplinary and global prevention and intervention strategies. Regarding the situation in Austria, no evidence-based scientific analysis exists that depicts the bright field of Cybercrime. Therefore an interdisciplinary research group investigated the phenomenon cybercrime regarding the questions: (1) Who are the offenders and the victims? (2) Which initiation and realisation strategies of Cybercrime can be identified? (3) Which offender-structure can be found? (4) Which investigation methods, performed by the police, can be identified as useful and what can be said about the further prosecution of the identified offenders? To address these questions, court files of the last ten years (2006-2016) have been analysed and considered through a crime-sociological, legal, technical and economical perspective.
