Evil on the Internet

This talk will show you live examples of these sites, explain how they work, and tell you what we currently know about the criminals who operate them.

There's a lot of evil things on the Internet if you know where to look for them. Phishing websites collect banking credentials; mule recruitment websites entice people into money laundering; fake escrow sites defraud the winners of online auctions; fake banks hold the cash for fake African dictators; and there are even Ponzi scheme websites where (almost) everyone knows that they're a scam. This talk will show you live examples of these sites, explain how they work, and tell you what we currently know about the criminals who operate them.
