The 3rd Annual APWG Counter eCrime Operations Summit (CeCOS) in Barcelona on May 12, 13 and 14 will survey the technical advances of phishing and cybercrrime groups. At the same time, presenters from across the globe will examine the kinds of technical, operational and policy responses that have proven useful in countering them – from the desktop all the way back to the domain name registry.
The agenda stands as one of the most provocative and useful of any program the APWG has heretofore assembled. Among the cybercrime issues probed at CeCOS III:
- Analysis of techniques used to hack the Tibetan movement’s computers
- presented by the technologist who discovered the hacks and traced them back to China
- Analysis and interpretation of the Conficker worm by the technologist at the California think-tank, SRI, who reported out on Conficker’s new and dangerous capabilities last year
- Strategies for protecting consumers from electronic crime – Defensive strategies for the enterprise IT manager
- Emerging technical attacks against desktops
- Global electronic crime field reports and law enforcement case studies from Italy, Spain, the UK, Malaysia and India
- Evolving defensive strategies for eliminating criminal abuse of the Domain Name System

Thought leaders, researchers and responders chosen to speak at CeCOS III come from some of the pre-eminent counter-electronic crime companies, research centers, and agencies in the world, including the FBI, SRI, Japan CERT, Australian Federal Police, China Internet Network Information Center, University of Cambridge, Carnegie Mellon University and United Nations Interregional Crime and Justice Research Institute.
