Abstract:
The characteristics of the Internet, which include digitization, anonymity, connectivity, mobility, and transnational nature; blur the traditional model of crime investigation / law enforcement and call for new strategies. Many simple yet popular malicious activities over internet are carried out by scammers / con artists largely through electronic mails and websites using cyber hypnotism, often in combination with distribution and propagation of malware. Such crimes of persuasion need to be managed through due diligence. Recently, an added web-based threat is recognized in the form of scareware which is making even the savviest of computer users their victim, and therefore, there is a need to focus on trying to detect such suspicious activity as quickly as possible in order to shut it down. An in-depth analysis of few scareware reveal that they have created many new and not so widely recognized online threats with inside intelligence by providing primary delivery mechanism for malware such as rogue anti-virus and anti-spyware, which are beyond the reach of many legitimate anti-virus programs currently in use. They may cause a Denial of Service (DoS) attack forcing the system to crash or even a Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attack. Looking at such unprecedented challenges in cyberspace, a policy of cyber vigilantism adopting an active defense rather than a reactive approach is contemplated. It is felt that in this age of mobile workforce, many of such people working as cyber analytics, or cyber-crime researcher may accomplish this work of community policing and play as proactive guardians of cyberspace.
