Excited to share some slides from my recent presentation at the PAYMENTS & SECURITY EMA CONFERENCE. I delved into the pressing issue of Crime-as-a-Service. The timeliness of this topic couldn't be more evident, especially given recent events. Just in April, a global police operation dismantled a notorious 'cybercrime-as-a-service' platform, known as LabHost, that facilitated the sale of phishing kits, hosting infrastructure, interactive victim engagement tools, and campaign overview services to its 10,000 users across the globe. With a monthly fee averaging $249, LabHost offered a range of illicit services which were customisable and could be deployed with a few clicks. And just a day before the conference, Ukrainian Cyberpolice shut down a fraudulent call center in Odesa. The center had defrauded citizens of the Czech Republic, illustrating the stark reality of the Scam-as-a-Service business model and its transnational reach. My presentation delved into practical issues and illustrated examples that underscored the complexity of modern scams. It highlighted how contemporary scams transcend simple criminal activities, evolving into sophisticated and meticulously organized operations. I'm honored that my presentation was recognized as one of the standout sessions at the conference. It's crucial to collaborate and innovate to stay ahead of cybercriminals in safeguarding businesses and consumers.
