Characterising Cybercriminals: A Review (2202.07419v1)
Published 15 Feb 2022 in cs.CY and cs.CR
Abstract: This review provides an overview of current research on the known characteristics and motivations of offenders engaging in cyber-dependent crimes. Due to the shifting dynamics of cybercriminal behaviour, and the availability of prior reviews in 2013, this review focuses on original research conducted from 2012 onwards, although some older studies that were not included in prior reviews are also considered. As a basis for interpretation of results, a limited quality assessment was also carried out on included studies through examination of key indicators.
