Whether the target is a private business, a government entity, or an individual, criminals are becoming more efficient and effective in achieving their goals. This session will explore specific methods used to facilitate various types of cybercrimes, and the real-life impacts these events leave on victims and communities; several recent case examples will be provided and examined.
