Behavioral Cybercriminals Differentiations between the Real World and the Virtual Space

Abstract

Nadine Touzeau

In order to thwart cyber-attacks, an antimalware program is set up or developed. That is to say, we learn cyber defense by considering that only viral intrusions are responsible for cyber-attacks. The human behind every cyberattack is unfortunately obscured although human beings are the ones be find every cybercriminal act, they are the initiators whether in real or virtual space. In order to better understand this fact, the transversal universe and its occupants must be considered better than done nowadays. Investigating in virtual and real spaces is coming up against the very reasons that have created virtual space and that made cybercrime still growing strongly. In the virtual space, the occupants work differently to develop new behaviors; new ways of living and moving, even new ways of thinking that can sometimes be reproduced in the real space. In addition, the modus operandi circulates via the darkweb so that the lists can be reproduced and developed in the real space. The "original" signature changes according to the profiles that reshuffle offenses, which further complicates the investigations. Thus, integrating and understanding the cyber universe requires, above all, discovering new profiles in the cyber universe and making a behavioral differentiation between the virtual space and the real one according to specificities of the cyberspace itself. This is I am developing through the present research by exposing three concepts of mine: This is of “avatarisation”, “transverse zone” and “virtual intelligence.”
