Empty Streets, Busy Internet: A Time-Series Analysis of Cybercrime and Fraud Trends During COVID-19

Steven Kemp et al.

Summary: The changes in routine activities during the COVID-19 pandemic led to a decrease in outdoor predatory crimes and an increase in cybercrime and fraud opportunities. Time-series analysis of historical data on cybercrime and fraud in the UK showed that both total cybercrime and fraud levels exceeded predicted levels, with variations in victimization across different fraud types and victims. The implications of these findings on policy, practice, and academic debates regarding cybercrime and fraud opportunities during COVID-19 were discussed.

Assessing the Use of Insecure ICS Protocols via IXP Network Traffic Analysis

Giovanni Barbieri et al.

Summary: Modern Industrial Control Systems enable remote communication through the Internet using industrial protocols, but security issues remain a concern. Research shows that tools like Shodan cannot accurately detect legitimate use of insecure industrial traffic, while traffic analysis at local Internet Exchange Points can provide a more accurate assessment of communication issues in Industrial Control Systems.
