The initial crisis quickly became a global catastrophe with multiple consequences in economics, health, and political and social fields. This book explores how this global emergency has influenced cybercrime. Indeed, since feeding off new vulnerabilities, thanks to the effects of the pandemic crisis in various states around the world, cybercrime has increased and evolved.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn 2020, the world was already dealing with numerous tensions and the effects of the global crisis have therefore only tended to exacerbate the issues that relate to cybercrime. For example, radicalization and identity theft has found an environment in which they thrive: the Internet. Criminals have been able to adapt their modus operandi, their targets and their attack vectors. However, on the plus side, the response of law enforcement and public authorities, in terms of the legal, policing and policy side of cybercrime, has also been adapted in order to better combat the increase in this phenomenon.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eIntroduction ix\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eDaniel VENTRE and Hugo LOISEAU\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eChapter 1 The Evolution of Cybercrime During the Covid-19 Crisis 1\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003ci\u003eDaniel VENTRE\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1.1 Introduction 1\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1.2 Observing the evolution of cybercrime 4\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1.2.1 Leveraging annual data: the case of India 8\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1.2.2 Leveraging monthly data 11\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1.2.3 Leveraging weekly data: the case of China 21\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1.3 Has the global geography of cyberattacks changed? 29\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1.4 Conclusion 34\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1.5 Appendix 39\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1.5.1 Cybercrime tools: malware 39\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1.5.2 CVSS as indicators of vulnerability levels 40\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1.5.3 Heterogeneity and complexity of cybercrime typologies 41\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1.5.4 Attitude of companies toward cyber risks: the case of the United Kingdom 46\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1.6 References 47\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eChapter 2 The SARS-CoV-2 Pandemic Crisis and the Evolution of Cybercrime in the United States and Canada 49\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003ci\u003eHugo LOISEAU\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e2.1 Introduction 49\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e2.2 The impacts of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic 50\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e2.3 Cybercrime and SARS-CoV-2 52\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e2.3.1 Targets and victims 53\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e2.3.2 Malicious actors 57\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e2.3.3 Cyberspace: a propitious environment for cybercrime 58\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e2.4.
