APWG is hosting its eCrime 2014 members’ meeting and research conference
in Birmingham, Alabama next month, with insights into next-generation
electronic crime in the investing and mortgage banking sectors, as well
as advanced research into fraud provenance tracing, programmatic
cybercrime event data exchange and enterprise-wide fraud management.
APWG Secretary General Peter Cassidy said, "Account-level cybercrime
against consumers and enterprises can damage accounts – but control
fraud and investment fraud has the clear potential to damage markets and
even economies. Our contributing researchers at this conference are
mapping threatscapes that menace commerce and free markets as we know
them.”
eCrime 2014, held September 23-25, combines: the APWG’s general members
meeting for confidential member discussion and the peer-reviewed APWG
Symposium on Electronic Crime Research for presentation of applied
cybercrime research papers. The program’s sessions cover every aspect of
the dynamic cybercrime spectrum, from the latest crimeware technologies
being thrown against consumer devices to data exchange protocols for
cooperative response to cybercrime threats.
Program discussions will include:
* Electronic Document Counterfeiting and the NextGen Control Fraud
* Mapping the Investment Fraud Ecosystem
* Historical Analysis of Global Phishing Nexuses in the Last Four Years
* Global Botnet Notification for Network Management Authorities
* Predicting Phishing Attacks
* Measuring the Enterprise Impact of Phishing
* The Mobile Devices Fraud Threatscape
* Global Cybercrime Reporting/Notification: Logistics and Doctrine
* Global Synchronization of Cybercrime Awareness Messaging and Education
