DESCRIPTION:Cyber-criminals and attackers at large have access to a wide r
 ange of technologies and techniques of varying sophistication to deliver a
 ttacks: from script-kiddie types of attacks employing automated and well-k
 nown exploits\, to mature malware delivery platforms capable of crypting o
 r packing malware at delivery time\, and multi-stage\, highly tailored soc
 ial engineering attacks employing a large portfolio of targeting and psych
 ological techniques. Yet\, most cyber-criminal ventures are relatively un-
 interesting: dozens of underground market places exists\, but which of tho
 se support technological innovation rather than mainly scam-for-scammers a
 ctivities is currently hard to know. Similarly\, yet another "Your mailbox
  is full\, please click here to reset your password" phishing attack hardl
 y makes the news\, while we lack the tools to characterize much more sophi
 sticated and innovative social engineering attacks targeting\, for example
 \, specific individuals across multiple attack stages.\n\nIn this talk we 
 discuss what features characterize "cyber-criminal excellence"\, and disti
 nguish it from "ordinary" Internet crime. Reflecting current attack trends
 \, we focus on criminal markets and social engineering techniques: within 
 both domains\, we propose and discuss models and criteria to characterize 
 relevant and highly innovative criminal ventures and sophisticated social 
 engineering attacks which ought to be studied and understood\, and showcas
 e their application through real-world case studies.\n\nRECORDING : Please
  note\, this event will be recorded and will be available after the event 
 for an indeterminate period under a CC BY -NC-ND license. Audience members
  should bear this in mind before joining the webinar or asking questions.
