Abstract

Internet crime has become increasingly dependent on the underground
economy: a loose federation of specialists selling capabilities,
services, and resources explicitly tailored to the abuse ecosystem.
Through these emerging markets, modern criminal entrepreneurs piece
together dozens of à la carte components into entirely new criminal
endeavors. In this talk, I'll discuss parts of this ecosystem and show
that criminal reliance on this black market introduces fragile
dependencies that, if disrupted, undermine entire operations that as a
composite appear intractable to protect against.
