[On-Demand] Criminality on the dark web in 2024: Drugs, Fraud, and Trafficking

As criminal investigation teams make advances on the dark web, so too do criminals in a continuous effort to evade detection. In 2024, the dark web remains a complex and evolving landscape for cybercrime and law enforcement agencies policing these underground forums, marketplaces, and encrypted chats. In this webinar, our threat intelligence team give real-world examples of criminals acting with impunity on the dark web. Through live demonstrations, we show how law enforcement agencies can investigate these criminals on the dark web with first-hand access to recaptured criminal data, build profiles of these high-risk criminal actors, and begin to unmask the actors behind the aliases.

In this webinar we share

• Examples of trafficking illegal goods on the dark web, such as drugs, arms, and ATM skimmers
• How law enforcement officers can surface emerging threats, including social unrest on the dark web
• Demonstration of how you can pivot on individual actors to view their posting history
• How technical and non-technical investigators can build a case using our dark web investigation platform
