Dr Raymond Choo - My life of in crime
http://www.nla.gov.au/podcasts/talks.html
I've chosen the first podcast on the podcast page for the Australian National Library. Its an interesting overview on cyber crime presented by former Australian National University student Dr Raymond Choo, who is now a senior lecturer in Information Technology at the University of South Australia.
He explains the various methods and motives of cyber crime. The motives range from young people doing it 'because they can', to organised criminals after bank details or other private information, to activists out to make a point. The methods are varied and include the use of fake identities to fool victims into providing information or the use of malware to take control of the victim's computer to acquire their information.
