Cybercrime Investigation and Digital Forensics: A Study of the Tools and Techniques for Investigating Organized Crime Groups
Abstract
As cybercrime continues to escalate in scale and sophistication, organized crime groups have increasingly leveraged digital platforms to conduct illicit operations ranging from financial fraud to trafficking and cyber-espionage. This study critically examines the investigative tools and digital forensic techniques employed by law enforcement and cybersecurity professionals in the detection and disruption of such criminal networks. Emphasizing case studies, the research highlights real-world challenges and emerging solutions in cybercrime investigation. The study explores advanced data recovery tools, malware analysis, network traffic monitoring, and encryption-breaking techniques, alongside the procedural and legal frameworks guiding digital evidence handling. Additionally, it addresses the limitations of current technologies and the need for continuous adaptation to counteract the agility of organized cybercriminals. By consolidating expert perspectives, this research aims to provide actionable insights into enhancing forensic capabilities, fostering inter-agency collaboration, and informing policy on cybercrime response strategies.
