The digitalisation of the global workforce in the face of a pandemic has led criminals to upgrade their working model, and now law enforcement must too.<\/p>\n

Interpol cybercrime director Craig Jones set forward this idea at Acronis’s #CyberFit Summit in Singapore on Thursday, dispelling the stereotype of a lone threat actor in a hoodie hunched over a keyboard in favour of an integrated criminal ecosystem.<\/p>\n

“We are now looking at a business model. Because we’ve evolved, the criminals have evolved as well in our digital space,” said Jones. “We see a whole criminal business supply chain as well, from people gaining illegal access to criminals offering ransomware as a service.”<\/p>\n

He added that cybercriminals now have a broad range of skills as well as access to their own colleagues with skills at low cost, in a borderless environment, as they attack not just some store or object, but day-to-day infrastructure.<\/p>\n

Jones said that in order to tackle these ecosystems, law enforcement needs to move away from the traditional method that goes back thousands of years. He cited China’s early local magistrates as a historic example.<\/p>\n
