The 2nd Workshop on Attackers and Cyber-Crime Operations (WACCO 2020) will be held jointly with the 2020 IEEE European Symposium on Security and Privacy in Genoa, Italy.
The workshop welcomes mono-disciplinary and multi-disciplinary submissions on quantitative and qualitative analyses of cyber-crime operations; fully in scope to the workshop are contributions focussing on the networking, technical, criminological, psychological, economic, and law dimensions of cybercrime.
WACCO 2020 calls for all contributions aiming at providing methods, measures, metrics, and technologies or tools to quantitatively or qualitatively evaluate cyber-offenders and attackers from technical and non-technical angles. The workshop invites contributions from, but not limited to, the fields of network and computer security, criminology, psychology, law, and economics addressing this issue.
