DESCRIPTION:Cybercrime now operates like a business. Its goods and service
 s may be illicit\, but it is highly organised\, complex\, driven by profit
  and globally interconnected. This book examines the underground economy a
 nd how it works. In particular\, it seeks to make sense of the strategies 
 cybercriminals use to build a thriving industry in a low-trust environment
  characterised by a precarious combination of anonymity and teamwork.\n\nI
 t is based on seven years of fieldwork in cybercrime hotspots around the w
 orld\, including in Russia\, Ukraine\, Romania\, Brazil\, Nigeria\, China 
 and the USA. The core source of data is interviews with almost 250 law enf
 orcement agents\, security professionals and former cybercriminals.\n\nBio
 graphy\nDr Jonathan Lusthaus is Director of The Human Cybercriminal Projec
 t in the Department of Sociology and a Research Fellow at Nuffield College
