Cryptocurrency and Cybercrime
1 CPE Credit
"Cryptojacking" is the latest trend for criminals, who hijack your computers, install cryptocurrency miners, and use stolen information from your databases to set up wallets for illicit funds transfers. We'll show you a cryptojacking attack, complete with screenshots of the criminal’s web surfing history and falsified documents uncovered through forensic analysis. Next, we'll walk through how cryptocurrency works, and explain how Bitcoin enabled the growth of darknet markets. You'll learn how today's cybercriminal landscape has flipped the use of cryptocurrency on its head: instead of simply using cryptocurrency to purchase stolen data or conduct other illegal transactions, criminals are hacking your servers in order to mine new coins. Learn how cryptocurrency is connected with cybercrime, and how to protect yourself and your clients against today's threats.
