What this episode covers
In this show we talk with Dr. Rutger Leukfeldt, senior researcher and the cybercrime cluster coordinator at the Netherlands Institute for the Study of Crime and Law Enforcement (NSCR) and the director of the Cybersecurity & SMEs Research Center of the Hague University of Applied Sciences. Dr. Leukfeldt shares about organized crime groups online, their structures and how they operate and the importance of offline connections. Social opportunities structures are raised as an important instrument in the creation of these connections. We also talk about crime facilitators within organisations that are used by criminal groups to commit crime, becoming the inside threat that allows successful but low tech cybercrime. Other facilitators involved are the money mules that allow for the 'cashing out' and laundering of the proceeds of crime.
