World Cybercrime Index – Where are the cybercriminals hiding?

Russia leads the list of countries that host cybercrime, followed by Ukraine, China, the USA, Nigeria and Romania, according to a new study by an international team of researchers. The findings come from anonymous questionnaires completed by ninety-two cybercrime experts. The researchers say this survey approach overcomes a major challenge in investigating cybercrime - the anonymity of perpetrators who conceal their identities online. Dr Miranda Bruce, from the University of Oxford and New South Wales in Canberra is lead author and is on show. 

What is your data worth and can you use it like money?

“It’s where the future goes to be born”. That's one of the ways to describe Web Summit. It's a series of events around the globe that brings together some of the biggest names in tech. Over 34,000 attendees have just taken part in Web Summit Rio. Our own Angelica Mari sat down with Drumwave CEO and co-founder Andre Vellozo to discuss the infrastructures that will enable us to trade with our own data.


The programme is presented by Gareth Mitchell and the studio expert is Ghislaine Boddington.
