The advent of cybercrime-as-a-service – where cybercriminals create tools and products for use by other cybercriminals – has revolutionized online crime, allowing it to scale and become more effective. The discussions and products in underground forums and marketplaces can give clues as to how cybercriminals are exploiting and profiting. But these markets can be sprawling. Extracting useful cyber threat intelligence about emerging threats and monitoring the rise of novel threat actors can be a challenge. Michele Campobasso completed his doctoral thesis in 2024 about these issues while at the Eindhoven University of Technology. In this Studio 471, Campobasso shares his insight into these markets and how to maximize CTI collection.
