Brainstorm

DEFINITION

cyberspace JOIN(2013)1 final: Cybercrime commonly refers to a broad range of
different criminal activities where computers and information systems are involved
either as a primary tool or as a primary target ()

Europol IOCTA: divide cybercrime in 2 types

commit a crime

Variety of classifications

,CHARACTERISTICS OF CYBERCRIME

Difference between offline and cybercrime

1. Scale: you can target more people

2. Accessibility: technology is accessible

3. Anonymity: you can hide behind the screen (challenging for law enforcement) but not totally
anonymous

4. portability & transferability (vb use of cloud services, volatility of data/ servers)

5. global reach (offline: mostly in 1 place)

ACTS

 Hacking
 Sextortion
 Phishing
 Cyber attacks
o Malware attacks (see graphics)
 Fraud
o Ex. Donate to charity
 Online child sexual exploitation
 Social engineering
 Impersonation

,  Cross-cutting crime factors are those which impact, facilitate or otherwise contribute to
multiple crime areas but are not necessarily inherently criminal themselves.
 Grey infrastructure: legitimate tools & techniques that are abused by cybercriminals

ACTORS

 State-nexus threat groups: Groups closely linked to states
 Cybercriminals: online fraud for financial gain
 Hackers for hire

, MODULE 2. CYBERCRIME: POLICY AND LEGISLATION

what kind of acts should be criminalized?
Which acts are adopted in criminal
legislation in national level?

We see the acts on European level but to
implement it you need to look at the
national level.

Also acts for private actors

Left side: overview of the instruments of
the level of the council of Europe.

Right side: overview of the instruments of the level of the EU

 Fragmented landscape: you need to look in different legislatives instruments to find the
correct legislative

(1) COUNCIL OF EUROPE: CYBERCRIME CONVENTION (BUDAPEST CONVENTION)

Adoption: 23 November 2001, Budapest

 Although the convention is old it is still relevant.
o It is future-proof, neutral technology definition.
 Council of Europe made this an important issue so member states could use this as
inspiration to make their own legislation.
 Member states of the convention on cybercrime: it is not only the members of the council of
Europe who participate but also other states -> 68 countries ratified. 50 countries signed but
not ratified.
o From the beginning it was clear to make the convention open for other countries,
this resulted in the presence of the USA and Japan during the negotiations. Also after
the convention was adopted the goal was to harmonies and make international
cooperation. So a lot of countries need to ratify to adopt the goal.
 Provision stays abstract and general so they are sometimes implemented in a different way
in different countries but it still harmonies;


3 PILLARS

 Harmonizing domestic criminal substantive elements of offenses
o Establishing a common minimum standard for relevant offenses
 Which offences do the members need to implement in their national law
 Important: easier to cooperate, and exchange information, preventing
perpetrators from locating themselves in countries where there is no
legislation (forum-shopping), double criminality
o Prevent abuses from being shifted to a Party with a previously lower standard
