Watch this video and consider how researchers might use the information shared by the former criminal to conduct cybersecurity studies .

Many information gathered and strategies used by former criminals are used by cybersecurity professionals. Which allows professionals to be two steps ahead of attackers. In order to catch criminals you have to think and act like one. Studies show that most criminals are not outsiders they are mainly individuals close to someone or a previous employee.

• Is it ethical to study people in cyberspace when they don’t know they are being studied?
