CAMBRIDGE CYBERCRIME CENTRE

The Cambridge Cybercrime Centre is a multi-disciplinary initiative based in the
University of Cambridge's Department of Computer Science and Technology. We
started work on 1 October 2015.

Our approach is data driven. We have collected some very substantial datasets
relating to cybercrime and have negotiated access to other feeds of cybercrime
data. We aim to leverage our neutral academic status to obtain more data and
build one of the largest and most diverse data sets that any organisation holds.

We mine and correlate these datasets to extract information about criminal
activity. Our analysis enhances understanding of crime 'in the cloud', and
enables us to devise identifiers of such criminality, allowing us to build
systems to detect this type of crime when it occurs, and aiding us in showing
how it is possible to collect extremely reliable evidence of wrongdoing. When it
is appropriate, we work with law enforcement so that effective interventions can
be undertaken.

Our overall objective is to create a sustainable and internationally competitive
centre for academic research into cybercrime.


DATA SHARING

We do not keep all this data to ourselves... a key aim of our Centre is to make
data available to other academics for them to apply their own skills to address
cybercrime issues.

Academics currently face considerable difficulties in researching cybercrime. It
is difficult, and time consuming, to negotiate access to real data on actual
abuse and then it is necessary to build and deploy data collection tools before
the real work can even be started.

We intend to drive a step change in the amount of cybercrime research by making
datasets available, not just of URLs but content as well, so that other
academics can concentrate on their particular areas of expertise and start being
productive immediately. These datasets are both 'historic' and, where
appropriate 'real-time'.

We maintain high ethical standards in everything we do and have developed a
strong legal framework for our operations. In particular we will always ensure
that the data we handle is treated fully in accord with the spirit, and not just
the letter, of the agreements we enter into.

Details of our sharing process and the datasets we have available are here.


COVID BRIEFING PAPERS

Our COVID Briefing Papers are an ongoing series of short-form, open access
reports aimed at academics, policymakers, and practitioners, which aim to
provide an accessible summary of our ongoing research into the effects which the
coronavirus pandemic (and government responses) are having on cybercrime.
