This research examines the strategy of attacking user reputation in cybercriminal markets. Previous scholarly discussions have touched upon the use of slander and Sybil operations to foster distrust, but empirical research on the effectiveness of these tactics is challenging. This study presents a possible method for investigating this topic: social laboratory experiments.
Cybercriminal markets serve as hubs for offenders and enable the sale of illegal goods and services. Thus far, the primary tactics that have been employed against these sites are arrests of cybercriminals and takedowns of marketplace infrastructure. This research note examines a different genus of disruptive strategy: attacks on user reputation. In this area, there has been some scholarly discussion of slander and Sybil operations as a means of fostering distrust. But carrying out empirical work on the effectiveness of these tactics is challenging. This research note presents a possible method for investigating this topic: social laboratory experiments. It reports on a feasibility pilot study inspired by cybercrime disruption, but which speaks to a broader range of extra-legal markets.
