Cybercrime is no longer just about individual hackers. It has become a global business built on infrastructure, money flows, and organized criminal networks. In this episode of Securanoia, Brooke S, PhD sits down with Jethro Cornelissen, lead volunteer investigator with Cybercrime Atlas, hosted by the World Economic Forum, to reveal how investigators track and disrupt the networks behind scams, fraud operations, and online crime. Jethro shares what happens behind the scenes as investigators map criminal activity, follow financial trails, connect identities, and turn intelligence into action. The conversation explores the human impact of large-scale scam operations, the growing threat of deepfakes and voice scams, and why collaboration between cybersecurity teams, fraud investigators, and law enforcement is essential. Jethro also explains why the future of cyber investigations depends on people who can connect technology, financial crime, and human behavior. This episode provides a rare look into how global cybercrime networks operate and how investigators are working to break them apart.
