Maria Bada, Jason R. C. Nurse

As cybercrime becomes one of the most significant threats facing society today, it is of utmost importance to better understand the perpetrators behind such attacks. In this article, we seek to advance research and practitioner understanding of the cybercriminal (cyber-offender) profiling domain by conducting a rigorous systematic review. This work investigates the aforementioned domain to answer the question: what is the state-of-the-art in the academic field of understanding, characterising and profiling cybercriminals. Through the application of the PRISMA systematic literature review technique, we identify 39 works from the last 14 years (2006-2020). Our findings demonstrate that overall, there is lack of a common definition of profiling for cyber-offenders. The review found that one of the primary types of cybercriminals that studies have focused on is hackers and the majority of papers used the deductive approach as a preferred one. This article produces an up-to-date characterisation of the field and also defines open issues deserving of further attention such as the role of security professionals and law enforcement in supporting such research, as well as factors including personality traits which must be further researched whilst exploring online criminal behaviour. By understanding online offenders and their pathways towards malevolent behaviours, we can better identify steps that need to be taken to prevent such criminal activities.

对网络犯罪分子进行概要分析:研究的系统评价

随着网络犯罪成为当今社会面临的最重大威胁之一,更重要的是更好地了解此类攻击的肇事者。在本文中,我们试图通过进行严格的系统审查来提高研究人员和从业人员对网络犯罪(网络犯罪者)配置文件领域的了解。这项工作对上述领域进行了调查,以回答以下问题:在了解,表征和描述网络犯罪分子的学术领域中,什么是最新技术?通过PRISMA系统文献综述技术的应用,我们确定了过去14年(2006- 2020年)的39篇作品。我们的研究结果表明,总体而言,对于网络犯罪分子,没有统一的轮廓分析定义。审查发现,研究重点关注的主要网络犯罪类型之一是黑客,并且大多数论文都将演绎法用作首选方法。本文提供了该领域的最新描述,还定义了值得进一步关注的开放问题,例如安全专业人员和执法人员在支持此类研究中的作用,以及包括人格特征在内的因素,必须在此同时进行进一步研究。探索在线犯罪行为。通过了解在线犯罪者及其恶意行为的途径,我们可以更好地确定需要采取的步骤,以防止此类犯罪活动。本文提供了该领域的最新描述,还定义了值得进一步关注的开放问题,例如安全专业人员和执法人员在支持此类研究中的作用,以及包括人格特征在内的因素,必须在此同时进行进一步研究。探索在线犯罪行为。通过了解在线犯罪者及其恶意行为的途径,我们可以更好地确定需要采取的步骤,以防止此类犯罪活动。本文提供了该领域的最新描述,还定义了值得进一步关注的开放问题,例如安全专业人员和执法人员在支持此类研究中的作用,以及包括人格特征在内的因素,必须在此同时进行进一步研究。探索在线犯罪行为。通过了解在线犯罪者及其恶意行为的途径,我们可以更好地确定需要采取的步骤,以防止此类犯罪活动。
