Will Counterattacks Stop Cybercriminals?

About the Episode

In recent months, there have been some high-profile law enforcement victories in the never-ending battle against cybercrime, including arrests of the REvil gang, takedowns of cybercrime marketplaces, and sanctions against crypto tumblers.

Although these stories may seem common, cybercrime continues to occur. So, the question becomes: Will taking down these cybercriminal gangs have lasting effects?

Recent months have also seen perhaps the world’s first—and definitely the largest—hybrid conflict. As Russian tanks and troops rolled into Ukraine, continuing the offensive begun in 2014, the country’s elite cyber soldiers went to work. However, the expected quick victory was not to come; instead, brutal fighting has wasted countless lives, and a cyber conflict the likes of which the world has never seen has emerged—with nation-state actors and “IT Army” volunteers going toe-to-toe to win the information war.

What does it all mean for your organization, and what should you be doing right now?
