It also investigates the driving forces behind what has been dubbed the ransomware revolution after a series of major attacks beginning in 2013, and how the advent of cryptocurrencies provided the catalyst for the development and increased profitability of ransomware, sparking a phenomenal rise in the number and complexity of ransomware attacks. This book analyzes why the speed of technology adoption has been a fundamental factor in the continued success of financially motivated cybercrime, and how the ease of public access to advanced encryption techniques has allowed malicious actors to continue to operate with increased anonymity across the internet. This anonymity has enabled increased collaboration between attackers, which has aided the development of new ransomware attacks, and led to an increasing level of technical complexity in ransomware attacks. This book highlights that the continuous expansion and early adoption of emerging technologies may be beyond the capacity of conventional risk managers and risk management frameworks. Researchers and advanced level students studying or working in computer science, business or criminology will find this book useful as a reference or secondary text. Professionals working in cybersecurity, cryptography, information technology, financial crime (and other related topics) will also welcome this book as a reference. 001434376 588__ $$aOnline resource; title from PDF title page (SpringerLink, viewed March 23, 2021). 001434376 650_0 $$aCyberterrorism. 001434376 650_0 $$aExtortion. 001434376 650_0 $$aComputer crimes. 001434376 650_6 $$aCyberterrorisme. 001434376 650_6 $$aCriminalité informatique. 001434376 655_0 $$aElectronic books. 001434376 77608 $$iPrint version:$$z3030665828$$z9783030665821$$w(OCoLC)1224518133 001434376 830_0 $$aAdvances in information security ;$$vv. 85. 001434376 852__ $$bebk 001434376 85640 $$3Springer Nature$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-030-66583-8$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 001434376 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1434376$$pGLOBAL_SET 001434376 980__ $$aBIB 001434376 980__ $$aEBOOK 001434376 982__ $$aEbook 001434376 983__ $$aOnline 001434376 994__ $$a92$$bISE
