FIGURE 3 Cybercrime Atlas highlights 2024-2025 (continued) In 2024-2025, the Cybercrime Atlas continued to focus its research on financially motivated cybercriminal groups and their methods. Research into state-controlled or state-sponsored groups was out of scope. This was due to the already significant amount of high-quality research into these groups. Serving public interestAtlas research has the potential to disrupt cybercriminal activities that harm society. This includes cases in which cybercrime groups target vulnerable individuals, attack critical infrastructure like hospitals or are involved in violent organized crime, large-scale fraud, human trafficking or other harmful activities. Driving systemic impactThe Atlas community has determined that researching a specific cybercrime group will generate new insights into the broader cybercrime ecosystem, helping to support efforts to mitigate or disrupt cybercrime on a systemic level. Note The full list of principles guiding decisions on research targets is shared with the Atlas community and public-sector partners but is not released publicly.TABLE 1 Two guiding principles that shape Cybercrime Atlas researchWhat does the Cybercrime Atlas target?
