conference on April 25-27 in Scottsdale, Arizona, USA. This is the 12th
annual eCrime conference, which brings together 200 of the world’s top
security practitioners and researchers to explore solutions to the
growing global scourge of Internet electronic crime.
APWG Secretary General Peter Cassidy said, “Electronic crime succeeds
ultimately through access to conventional banking services, where
criminals can pay each other, or can extract stolen funds from victims.
The 2017 eCrime conference will focus on the ability of industry and law
enforcement to preserve its capacity to observe, respond and manage
cybercrime mediated through the virtual currencies that are becoming
ubiquitously fungible,” Mr. Cassidy said.
The annual Symposium on Electronic Crime Research features Industrial
and academic researchers who probe: phishing, spear-phishing,
ransomware, crimeware, online scam schemes, bitcoin abuses, and the
character of crimes against different cultures. The symposium is
attended by security managers from financial services firms, Internet
security companies, technology developers, email system administrators,
forensic scientists, law enforcement personnel, legislators,
inter-governmental organizations and scientists from many disciplines
