DETAILS
Background
Cybercrime – that is, offences against and by means of computer systems – has evolved into a significant threat to fundamental rights, democracy and the rule of law, as well as to international peace and stability, and has a major social and economic impact.
Therefore, cybercrime as a transnational phenomen by its nature, continues to attract high interest from criminals and is “taking the place” of other domestic crimes and creates a huge economic impact by fraud, phishing and ransomware.
Objectives
The aim of this training course is to provide LEA representatives from the priority countries of the following projects: CyberSouth, CyberEast, GLACY+, iPROCEEDS-2 and Octopus an understanding on the international dimension and impact of ransomware attacks. Furthermore, best practices on conducting criminal investigations on ransomware attacks, legal and technical tools to be used, as well as different investigative techniques, will be shared with the participants.
Expected outcomes
This training course is expected to:
- increase the knowledge of participants on the impact of ransomware attacks and international cooperation mechanism;
- develop practical skills of the LEA representatives on conducting criminal investigations on ransomware attacks.
