Policing cybercrime : an inside look at private and public cybercrime investigations

This chapter excludes the policing of a number of other cybercrimes such as cyber-intrusion (hacking), sextortion, identity crime, online counterfeit goods sales, ransomware, and online copyright infringement; however, focus on three subsets which provide a good contrast in private versus public policing are presented. Each section is further broken down to address terminology and overview, case studies, and an analysis of key issues and challenges for policing. Where possible, the chapter refers to case studies in which Australia had either a victim link or where and Australian private or law enforcement was involved in the investigation. Accordingly, any reference to law is to Australian law.
