electronic crime detection

The address locator 172 may be used to determine the geographical location of messages suspected to be transmitted by electronic criminals, for example electronic criminals in the process of authenticating compromised accounts or in the process of hacking into a secure computer system or network of a financial institution. In many circumstances, the pathways and methods of electronic crime are so complicated that the probability of an electronic criminal being caught and successfully prosecuted is very low. The information may include known malware, known techniques of specific electronic criminals, known locations of launches of electronic crime, and others. It's the most comprehensive and trusted online destination for law enforcement agencies and police departments worldwide. Jordan said that in the past he has agreed to train a dog at an investigator’s request, only to find out later the investigator’s chief had vetoed the idea. The principle of operation of the address locator 172 is that characteristic propagation delays are associated with every particular pathway through the network 190 and these characteristic propagation delays can be used, in combination with probe messages, for example UNIX ping messages, to independently determine the geographical location of the source computer. The present disclosure contemplates a method and a system that work across the entire electronic crime business process in a comprehensive approach to combating electronic crime, in part, by driving down the economics of electronic crime. The credential collection phase 102 may comprise acquisition of account numbers and authentication information whereby the accounts may be accessed and transactions on the accounts may be initiated. The person and/or group of potential interest may be named or unnamed. In block 220, intelligence personnel investigate to confirm the involvement in the electronic crime, or another electronic crime, of the person and/or group identified in block 216, for example field office personnel located in a foreign country where electronic criminals associated with the subject electronic crime are known to gather. The inference engine 178 may generate reports that constitute actionable intelligence that may be used to support a variety of electronic crime prevention actions. However, funding for dogs is available through two non-profits: Neighborhood Electronic Detection K9, Inc. and Operation Underground Railroad. The reports may be used to identify a travel pattern or travel itinerary of an electronic criminal to arrange arrest of the electronic criminal during transit through a point of cooperative jurisdictional presence. The information contained by the threat fusion center database 180 may come from a variety of sources including the outputs of ongoing investigations of specific electronic crimes, information shared from financial institutions, information shared by law enforcement agencies, and others. Jordan and Bear were brought to the Fogle’s house as he was suspected of possessing child pornography. The term attack signature may be used to refer to the complete set of observable and unobservable actions taken by electronic criminals during each of the phases of the electronic crime business process 100. This is referred to as threat mapping. Based on knowledge of the anti-fraud mechanisms, the electronic criminal may analyze histories of transactions of individual accounts to try to anticipate what transactions on a specific account would be allowed by the anti-fraud mechanisms and what transactions might be blocked. The information may include malware such as credential collection tools, descriptions of credential collection techniques, monetization tools, descriptions of monetization techniques, laundering tools, descriptions of laundering techniques, and other. General purpose computers are discussed in greater detail herein after. The network connectivity devices 792 may take the form of modems, modem banks, Ethernet cards, universal serial bus (USB) interface cards, serial interfaces, token ring cards, fiber distributed data interface (FDDI) cards, wireless local area network (WLAN) cards, radio transceiver cards such as code division multiple access (CDMA), global system for mobile communications (GSM), and/or worldwide interoperability for microwave access (WiMAX) radio transceiver cards, and other well-known network devices. Knowing the origin of a particular tool or malware or knowing the location that favors the use of a particular tool or malware can lead one to investigate known electronic criminals in that region or to investigate electronic criminals who have known interactions with that region. The only individual who has responsibility for a holistic view of electronic crime may be the chief executive officer (CEO), and at the CEO level electronic crime issues may be too abstracted to achieve substantial impact on the problem. In some cases, the technique of compromised account authentication may be analyzed, for example using the transaction log analyzer application 156 and/or by another method. The ROM 786 is used to store instructions and perhaps data which are read during program execution. The origins of the sub-specialty only date back about a half-decade. The method comprises organizing intelligence gathering personnel based on a business process of electronic criminals, wherein the business process comprises a credential collection phase, a monetization phase, and a laundering phase and the intelligence gathering personnel harvesting intelligence from each of the phases of the business process. Turning now to FIG. An electronic criminal may judge that it may be easier to subvert anti-fraud protections on an account with a high volume of monthly transactions or an account that combines a high volume of monthly transactions and where the transactions take place in many different locations including some transactions in Eastern European venues. avoid detection. These separate departments may not communicate effectively to cooperate in combating electronic crime. Further, once linked to the known malware, the attack may be further linked to a known individual, for example an electronic criminal whose techniques and methods are known and identified in the threat fusion center database 180. FIG. “It was Jared Fogle. The present examples are to be considered as illustrative and not restrictive, and the intention is not to be limited to the details given herein. Police1 is revolutionizing the way the law enforcement community Attacks can be directed to, for example, decreasing revenue, increasing cost, and increasing risk associated with particular electronic crime business segments. “A lot of criminals are using them; they could be utilized in any type of crime.”. In other cases, different valuations and expected extraction rates may be expected. The account holder may be tricked into releasing their account information willingly, for example in response to a fraudulent message posing as a trusted source or posing as a foreigner needing help from an honest person to transfer a large amount of funds. For example, the risk may be assessed according to how attractive the account may be to electronic criminals based on factors including one or more of a volume of monthly financial transactions, an average value of financial transactions, the locations of the financial transactions, and other factors. 2 is a block diagram of a threat mapper according to an embodiment of the disclosure. Since cybercrime is like a smart key, we can build a smarter keyhole to detect illegal entry. Based on an understanding of what electronic criminals are doing and how they are doing it, the present disclosure further contemplates aiming intervention efforts at these different electronic crime business segments, attacking the electronic crime business process. FIG. For example, law enforcement collected information on the actions of the “Unabomber” for years without being able to associate a name or a face to this individual. Additionally, the system 150 promotes a holistic, unified view of the electronic crime business process 100 that supports better insight into and response to electronic crime. For example, the various elements or components may be combined or integrated in another system or certain features may be omitted or not implemented. In some cases, authentication tools may be bought from electronic criminals under cover and then reverse engineered to identify their attack signature and the results stored in the threat fusion center database 180. If an electronic crime is being investigated, the process proceeds to block 212. Information technology plays a particularly important role in policing, … For example, the malware parser 168 may identify a statistically significant preference for implementing a jump control trigger and/or a loop control trigger based on a greater-than decision trigger versus based on an equal-to decision trigger. Access to both ROM 786 and RAM 788 is typically faster than to secondary storage 784. The threat fusion center database 180 may store information shared by various law enforcement agencies, both domestic and foreign. While only one processor 792 is shown, multiple processors may be present. 3, of launching a field office at the location and recruiting field office personnel to work at the field office that have a knowledge of local language, local culture, and local customs. (a) License requirements. 5 illustrates a typical, general-purpose computer system suitable for implementing one or more embodiments disclosed herein. The electronic crime business process 100 comprises a credential collection phase 102, a monetization phase 104, and a laundering phase 106. The agency’s irst ECTF, in New York, was formed based on this … The method also comprises populating the harvested intelligence into a database and generating actionable reports based on information on an electronic crime obtained from at least two of the three phases of the business process and based on the harvested intelligence in the database. generation, Method of creating a unit test framework to test a resource description framework based object, Remote build and management for software applications, OBJECT BASED BROWSING SUITABLE FOR USE IN APPLICATIONS, MIMICKING OF FUNCTIONALITY EXPOSED THROUGH AN ABSTRACTION, INTERCHANGEABLE DRIVE ELEMENT FOR BOTTLE OR CONTAINER SUPPORTS IN A CONTAINER LABELING MACHINE OR A MACHINE CONFIGURED TO PRINT INFORMATION ON BOTTLES OR CONTAINERS, WHICH INTERCHANGEABLE DRIVE ELEMENT IS CAPABLE OF BEING USED IN DIFFERENT CONTAINER LABELING OR CONTAINER INFORMATION PRINTING MACHINES IN BOTTLE OR CONTAINER FILLING PLANTS, MANAGING SOFTWARE UPDATES IN AN AUTOMATION ENVIRONMENT, INCREASE THE COVERAGE OF PROFILING FEEDBACK WITH DATA FLOW ANALYSIS, METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR ACQUIRING DEFINITIONS OF DEBUG CODE OF BASIC INPUT/OUTPUT SYSTEM, STATICALLY SPECULATIVE COMPILATION AND EXECUTION. At block 254, intelligence gathering personnel are organized based on the electronic crime business process 100. 4 is a flow chart of another method according to an embodiment of the disclosure. These network connectivity devices 792 may enable the processor 782 to communicate with an Internet or one or more intranets. The malware may be a virus, a Trojan horse, or a worm, that may have the further end of installing robots that collect and transmit account information. For example, an account of a business man may show repeating patterns of first purchasing a plane ticket to an international destination and then paying for an expensive meal at a restaurant at that same international destination. Copyright © 2020 The secondary storage 784 is typically comprised of one or more disk drives or tape drives and is used for non-volatile storage of data and as an over-flow data storage device if RAM 788 is not large enough to hold all working data. 3 is a flow chart of a method according to an embodiment of the disclosure. In another example, an electronic criminal may analyze an account history to identify spending or transaction patterns. Further, in some embodiments, advantages and benefits can be obtained by using the teachings of the present disclosure to work to combat electronic crime in the monetization phase alone, in the laundering phase alone, or in the monetization and the laundering phases alone, without working in the credential collection phase of the electronic crime process. The reports may be used to identify home territories of electronic criminals to the purpose of determining to establish a field office in the home territory and to staff the field office with intelligence assets or personnel with knowledge of local culture and local language. Further investigation by intelligence personnel located in field offices at the three probable locations may be able to exclude two of the three locations, thereby inferring the location where the electronic crime was launched. The second compromised account may be used by an electronic criminal to purchase $500 worth of books from an on-line retail book outlet. Turning now to FIG. Electronic monitoring is a form of digital incarceration, often in the form of a wrist bracelet or ankle “shackle” that can monitor a subject’s location, and sometimes also their blood alcohol level or … Such information, which is often represented as a sequence of instructions to be executed using processor 782, may be received from and outputted to the network, for example, in the form of a computer data signal embodied in a carrier wave. Process. The inference engine 178 additionally may estimate a degree of confidence in the inferences that it develops. “They’re having a hard time getting money together for the dogs.
