Vision and mission
Mapping cybercriminal networks supports the
systematic disruption of cybercriminal activities.
The Cybercrime Atlas builds a shared knowledge base of the
cybercriminal ecosystem, supporting systematic mitigation
and disruption of cybercrime. The community collaborates to:
• Map the landscape, criminal operations, networks and
infrastructure using open-source intelligence (OSINT)• Use this research to enable coordinated disruption
of cybercriminal activities and infrastructure
• Shape the online environment by creating evidence-
based recommendations to make it safer Cybercrime is global: Cybercrime groups are large
and globally distributed organizations. They often
have extensive and complex technical and money-
laundering infrastructure.
Knowledge of cybercrime is fragmented: Cyber defenders
possess valuable insights into how cybercriminals
operate, but this knowledge is often confined to individual organizations or countries. Without collaboration,
defenders lack a comprehensive understanding of
cybercrime and a full picture of criminal activities.
Responses are scattered: Cybercrime is inherently
transnational, and law enforcement operates within
national boundaries. Cross-industry collaboration
in the private sector can also be challenging.
