Around half of all acquisitive crime was already online before the start of the pandemic; it is now surging as many human activities move online chaotically, and cybercriminals adapt to the opportunities. This project will collect data at scale about online criminality, quickly enough to fetch malicious material before it is removed. We will not work alone but will promptly provide datasets to other researchers, and collaborate to create better analysis tools, analyse offender behaviour, and monitor the effectiveness of police and industry response. Our Cambridge Cybercrime Centre already collects data from underground forums, spam feeds, and industry partners, but we will ensure that pandemic related cybercrime Is prioritised and new datasets collected about online abuse and extremist views, such as anti-vaxxers. To scale up our work, we need to maintain and expand our network of honeypots and other sensors; extend our server cluster; scrape dozens more underground forums; and extend our collection of chat channels and illicit marketplaces - which are often found on Tor hidden services. We have an established ethical framework for data collection and a straightforward legal framework for data sharing, but a current bottleneck is that non-technical users can be swamped by what we provide, so we need to develop NLP tools to enable easier analysis of the data by researchers from other disciplines. We will also do our own analysis, for research to identify opportunities for law enforcement action, and to measure the effectiveness of responses by law enforcement and industry.

在大流行开始之前，大约一半的获取犯罪已经在网上。现在，它正在飙升，因为许多人类活动都在网上融合在一起，并且网络犯罪分子适应了机会。该项目将按大规模收集有关在线犯罪的数据，足够迅速地在将其删除之前获取恶意材料。我们不会单独工作，但会迅速向其他研究人员提供数据集，并合作创建更好的分析工具，分析罪犯行为并监控警察和行业响应的有效性。我们的剑桥网络犯罪中心已经从地下论坛，垃圾邮件提要和行业合作伙伴那里收集数据，但是我们将确保优先考虑与大流行有关的网络犯罪，并收集有关在线虐待和极端主义观点的新数据集，例如反毒素。为了扩大我们的工作，我们需要维护和扩展我们的蜜罐和其他传感器网络；扩展我们的服务器群集；刮擦数十个地下论坛；并扩展我们的聊天渠道和非法市场的集合 - 通常可以在TOR隐藏服务中找到。我们有一个既定的数据收集道德框架，也有一个直接的数据共享法律框架，但是当前的瓶颈是，我们提供的内容可以淹没非技术用户，因此我们需要开发NLP工具以通过其他学科的研究人员对数据进行更轻松的分析。我们还将进行自己的分析，以进行研究，以确定执法行动的机会，并衡量执法和工业的回应有效性。
