Andrei Barysevich is director of advanced collection for Recorded Future. He collects threat intelligence from secretive cybercriminal communities. He’s also been a private consultant to the FBI’s New York cybercrime field office. He has contributed data that has led to successful prosecutions of criminal syndicates. He discusses trends emerging within underground and Dark Web cybercriminal forums; how the cybercriminal underground has evolved into a sophisticated economy; why cybercriminals are beginning to embrace cryptocurrencies other than bitcoin. Ultimately, he says, “Cybercrime investigators will face increasing difficulties if bad actors begin accepting more privacy-centric cryptocurrencies rather than bitcoin””]
