Founding and Managing Partner Greg Payne spoke on a virtual panel organized by AIJA Commercial Fraud Commission on 16 November 2020.
Greg Payne was a panellist of the session, “Inside the cybercriminal’s mind: how to understand and then catch them?”, which focused on the hacking, the psychology of hacking, and cybercrime more generally. More specifically, the panel discussed the difficulties in pursuing perpetrators across multiple jurisdictions exploring what tools law enforcement use currently to tackle this problem (i.e. extensions of jurisdiction; MLA; interim measures; sanctions; extradition etc.), and whether there are any tools on the horizon that might better equip law enforcement to fight this superior threat (e.g. new cyber-fraud schemes and new offences around the world).
While perpetrators leverage on COVID-19 to defraud businesses and individuals, the panel also relevantly talked about new cyber-fraud schemes and new offences arising from COVID-19.
The talk was followed by a social event where participants were asked to share about their passion over virtual drinks.
