Abstract:
Cybercrime poses significant threats to public safety, national security, and the economy on a global scale. In this talk, I will discuss the dedicated efforts of our research group in fighting against these malicious activities across various fronts, including web, mobile, cloud, blockchain, and machine learning systems. I'll share key techniques, insights, and lessons learned from our experiences. I will also highlight our strategic focus on enhancing security and privacy for large-scale systems, drawing on insights from cybercrime research to strengthen our approach. Furthermore, I will present our efforts aimed at increasing awareness of threats and risks among a wider population, contributing to the development of a more informed and resilient digital environment.
