23. The Dark Web and Cyber Crime – LIVE Podcast with Federal Agent and Cyber Intel Expert

Crime as we know it is changing and the kids are keeping up, faster than we are. 

In this episode, GTC is on stage at the SXSW conference, discussing how the average age of cyber criminals is becoming younger and younger. Joined by our panelists AFP Federal Agent, Amy Phelps and Cyber Intelligence Expert Leah Pinto, we unpack how the dark web is fuelling cyber crime – including hiring violence “as a service” and ransomware toolkits.

But it’s not all doom and gloom, the AFP is hacking back, taking down dark web marketplaces and implementing prevention programs in schools. So tune in, and learn more about the dark web and the cyber crime it’s facilitating.
