Summary. The Cybercrime Atlas is an initiative hosted by the World Economic Forum’s (WEF) Partnership Against Cybercrime. While it’s still in prototype stages, it’s being designed to provide a platform for academic analysts, cybersecurity companies, national and international law enforcement agencies, and global businesses to share knowledge about the cybercriminal ecosystem. At its core, the Atlas project is a database about cybercrime. Information could come from government alerts, cryptocurrency analysis companies, platform providers, court records, and publicly available materials — anything the analysts can identify that might be relevant to understanding the entirety of the criminal ecosystem. Analysts could then use this database to generate multiple different views or maps of various parts of the cybercriminal ecosystem. For example, one analyst might be interested in ransom payments and could use Atlas to help understand how illicit funds are moving. Another might be interested in identifying the platforms that appear to host a large number of criminal actors. Another “map” or view might focus on the relationships between different criminal groups. By creating an international information repository based on public data and voluntarily shared information, cybersecurity practitioners can create a tool that will enable them to fight cybercrime more effectively. Cybercrime is big business. While reliable statistics are difficult to come by, estimates of the global co...

New Delhi: T he high-profile ransomware attack on Delhi’s All-India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) last month drew attention to holes in the country’s cybersecurity infrastructure, but it was hardly an isolated incident. Industry data shows that 2022 has been the worst year so far for India when it comes to cyberattacks — a problem that has only grown with increasing digitalisation. The question now is, what next? According to a “Ransomware attacks in India have increased significantly and one of the most distinguishing aspects in 2022 was the involvement of state actors,” Sameer Patil, senior fellow at Observer Research Foundation (ORF), a multi-disciplinary think-tank, told ThePrint. “So, it is not just profit motivation. We saw how police personnel had come out with Government data, collated by the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology’s Indian Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT-In), is In 2019, CERT-In handled close to 3,94,499 incidents in total, in which it suggested remedial measures for organisations and shared notes on “cyber threats and vulnerabilities”. In the same year, CERT-In issued 204 security alerts and 38 advisories. The number of incidents handled by CERT-In surged in 2020 to 11,58,208, a near-tripling over the previous year. This surge continued in 2021, which saw 14,02,809 incidents, a 21 per cent increase. Credit: ThePrint team The matters CERT-In looks into include website intrusion and malware propagation, m...
