DESCRIPTION:The dominant academic and practitioners’ perspective on secu
 rity evolves around law-abiding recipients (i.e.\, referent objects) of se
 curity who are under attack by law-breaking threat agents. Yet organized (
 cyber) crime has threat agents as well\, and is therefore in need of secur
 ity. Commission and protection of crime are inextricably linked. There is 
 a vast underground economy that caters large numbers of traditional and cy
 ber criminals with specialized security products and services. Think of Ha
 nsa as a secure market place\, Encrochat as a secure telecom provider and 
 Cyberbunker as a secure (i.e.\, bulletproof) hosting provider. Based on th
 e insights of the book ‘The Deviant Security of Cyber Crime’ and past 
 and recent cyber operations of the Dutch National High Tech Crime Unit suc
 h as the DoubleVPN investigation\, this presentation lets us realize that 
 cyber criminals have many more security controls at their disposal than en
 cryption\, but also face all kinds of minor\, major and even unavoidable v
 ulnerabilities.
