DESCRIPTION:Currently\, there are various monetisation methods for\ncyberc
 riminals who have access to plenty of money laundering schemes\nenabling t
 he creation of a huge\, underground worldwide economy. A\nclear indicator 
 of these activities is online marketplaces which allow\ncybercriminals to 
 trade their stolen assets\, offer their services\, and\nsell illegal goods
 . While traditionally these marketplaces are\navailable through the dark w
 eb\, several of them have emerged in the\nsurface web. In this work\, we p
 erform a longitudinal analysis of a\nsurface web marketplace. The informat
 ion was collected through\ntargeted web scrapping that allowed us to ident
 ify hundreds of\nmerchants' profiles for the most widely used surface web 
 marketplaces.\nIn this regard\, we discuss the products traded in these ma
 rkets\, their\nprices\, their availability\, and the exchange currency. Th
 is analysis\nis performed in an automated way through a machine learning-b
 ased\npipeline\, allowing us to quickly and accurately extract the needed\
 ninformation.\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 joinin
 g the webinar or asking questions.
