Cybercrime is a global threat to national security, essential services, businesses and private individuals, costing billions of dollars in damage around the world. Recent years have seen significant growth in the scale and complexity of cyber criminality as cybercriminals are becoming more sophisticated in exploiting security vulnerabilities online, such as the massive breach of personal data stored online and recent coordinated ransomware campaigns against organisations around the world. Cy-bercrime is also transnational, with criminals and technical infrastructure operating across and between national jurisdictions, requiring international collaboration to combat multiple threats. This course examines current frameworks of US cyberlaw, procedures, key legal cases and their implications for future practice and policy, and compares and contrasts US, UK and EU law at the interface of criminal law, technology and information sciences.
