INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON “CYBER CRIMINOLOGY”


Organized by
DEPARTMENT OF CRIMINOLOGY
UNIVERSITY OF MADRAS
Knowledge Partners
Ernst & Young,
Valiant Technologies Pvt. Ltd, and
Indian Society of Criminology
Dates : March 23rd and 24th , 2010
Venue of the Conference: Hotel Breeze,
No. 850, Poonamallee High Road,
Chennai 600 010
Legislating against electronic crimes such as
spam and ID fraud will not reduce the problem;
instead, education for small businesses and
consumers and cooperation between countries is
the answer. Although some legislation is
required to fight internet-based crimes, alone, it
will make no difference unless backed up by
corporation between international law
enforcement agencies and education for
computer users - EURIM, and Institute for
Public Policy Research (IPPR).
As long as people are so easily fooled by
scammers, no amount of legislation will solve
the problem of phishing, where fake emails are
sent to online banking users asking them to
"confirm" their password and username; under
no circumstances are you supposed to reveal the
whole password - nobody at the bank will ask
for more than a few random letters from it - and
yet people have been giving the complete phrase
to the phishers, says Philip Virgo, Secretary
general of EURIM.
The above statement clearly emphasizes the
importance of imparting cyber crime awareness
and education to end users. At the same time
there is also a need to understand cyber crime
from a non-technical approach like
understanding the criminological and
victimological aspects, how it can effect various
affected parties and how we can protect and
prevent malicious and damaging attacks on our
network and business both in private and
government sector. It is with this idea, the
present International Conference on Cyber
Criminology is being organized during 23rd
and 24th of March 2010.
The aim of this conference is to establish a
multidisciplinary forum for information sharing,
team building and the development of
innovative debate on cyber security,
investigations, forensic techniques /technologies
and legal concerns amongst investigators,
criminologists, victimolgists, information
assurance and network security professionals.
