Digital Forensic Analysis of Cybercrimes

Abstract

This paper reviews the existing methodologies and best practices for digital investigations phases like collecting, evaluating and preserving digital forensic evidence and chain of custody of cybercrimes. Cybercriminals are adopting new strategies to launch cyberattacks within modified and ever changing digital ecosystems, this article proposes that digital investigations must continually readapt to tackle cybercrimes and prosecute cybercriminals, working in international collaboration networks, sharing prevention knowledge and lessons learned. The authors also introduce a compact cyber forensics model for diverse technological ecosystems called Cyber Forensics Model in Digital Ecosystems (CFMDE). Transferring the knowledge, international collaboration, best practices and adopting new digital forensic tools, methodologies and techniques will be hereinafter paramount to obtain digital evidence, enforce organizational cybersecurity policies, mitigate security threats, fight anti-forensics practices and indict cybercriminals. The global Digital Forensics community ought to constantly update current practices to deal with cybercriminality and foreseeing how to prepare to new technological environments where change is always constant.

Do cybersecurity threats and risks have an impact on the adoption of digital banking? A systematic literature review

“…Identity theft is a common cybercriminal tactic that involves fraudulently using someone's personal information, often targeting Internet banking services. Cybercriminals can exploit stolen information for activities like opening bank accounts, obtaining credit cards or loans and fraudulently accessing state benefits (Sabillon et al, 2017).…”

Analysis of Steganographic on Digital Evidence using General Computer Forensic Investigation Model Framework

“…Perpetrators of crimes can be subject to punishment based on the evidence [4]. Digital criminals usually use anti-forensic techniques thus causing difficulties to find the digital evidence [5]. One of the anti-forensic techniques is steganography [6].…”
