Season of Cybercrime: Exploring the Dark Web

In this true cybercrime episode, we interview Myra Rosario-Fuentes, Senior Threat Researcher at Trend Micro, who just completed an in-depth, two-year research project on Dark Web markets, especially those selling exploits that hackers use to take advantage of security holes in networks and devices. How much is a Zero Day exploit worth on the Dark Web? How did COVID-19 impact cybercriminals on the Dark Web? Also, we discuss access-as-a-service on the Dark Web, the latest on ransomware operators and affiliate programs, and more.
