Tech-Enabled Global Cybercrime: Exploitation by Transnational Criminal Organizations (TCOS)
Abstract
The research delves into the use of technology by Transnational Criminal Organizations (TCOs) to orchestrate global cyberattacks. The study combines a literature review with case studies to show the interconnection between TCOs' actions and their technological exploits. The findings demonstrate the increasing sophistication of TCOs in carrying out unlawful activities globally. The study also highlights the challenges faced by law enforcement agencies in tracking, apprehending, and prosecuting TCOs involved in cybercrimes. Enhanced international cooperation and robust legal frameworks are critical to combating tech-enabled cybercrimes orchestrated by TCOs. As technology advances rapidly, TCOs find new ways to commit crimes across borders, making it challenging for law enforcement agencies to identify and successfully persecute cybercriminals. To address this trend, the study recommends that the international community work together to strengthen cooperation and establish effective legal frameworks. Successfully reaching this objective will necessitate the joint efforts of multiple parties who must share intelligence, resources, and expertise. It is important to note that technology alone is not responsible for increased cybercrimes; instead, TCOs use technology to carry out illegal activities. Policymakers and law enforcement agencies can utilize these research findings to develop effective strategies to combat these new and evolving forms of global cybercrime.
