Billions of dollars are being stolen from elder victims each year. While the scammers are mostly overseas, there is a black-market economy of gift cards, cash, and cryptocurrency flourishing within the U.S. Sadly, when the thousands of victims each year report these crimes to the police, they are told, “Sorry, there is nothing we can do.” The San Diego Elder Justice Task Force (EJTF) set out to answer the question of, “What COULD we do?” The EJTF is an unprecedented collaboration by local and federal agencies lead by the FBI, District Attorney’s Office, U.S. Department of Justice, and the local San Diego U.S. Attorney’s Office. By investigating these cases locally, the EJTF has revealed a road map for combating these scams highlighted recently by a first of its kind Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO) indictment by the U.S. Attorney’s Office.

In today's cyber threat environment, attackers and defenders are constantly trying to outmaneuver each other and the stakes are higher than ever, particularly for mission-critical systems and communications. Understanding the methods and motivations of threat actors is crucial to developing a proactive program to defend against and prevent future attacks. In part one of our four part webinar series, we will introduce our insights and analysis of the most significant and impactful cyber threats facing public safety organizations. In our review of the 2022 landscape, we will breakdown the drivers of the threat actors seeking to profit or cripple mission critical systems, while introducing how we seek to combat these threats with collaboration and intelligence sharing through the Public Safety Threat Alliance (PSTA). We'll also share details about the PSTA's free membership for public safety agencies, and how they can join this critical information sharing community today and begin improving their cybersecurity posture against cyber threats to their critical systems.

Fraudsters, whether acting alone or as part of an organized, global crime ring, are using every means available to perpetrate and orchestrate large scale schemes against corporations and governments. Open source intelligence (OSINT) can be used to identify assets and information to piece together the traditionally opaque network of people involved in fraud schemes. OSINT sources such as leaked databases, corporate registries, social media, and geolocation are all crucial components in tying together the convoluted web of disparate data points that make up fraud. This webinar will focus on how to utilize OSINT as part of fraud investigations. We will show how to identify relevant sources and methods to access disparate data sources and piece them together to build comprehensive investigations.

But it can also be used by an insider to breach a firewall or Internet filter and is a gateway to what is commonly called the Darknet. While Tor is the most common anonymity network, it is definitely not the only one. And, while Tor Hidden Service servers are the most well-known portion of the Darknet, there are other areas accessible through other networks. You can exchange Child Sexual Abuse Material, discuss criminal tradecraft, buy and sell illicit drugs, find stolen personal identifying information, and negotiate with those offering hacking as-a-service on Dark Markets and in Darknet Vendor Shops.

This webinar is not intended to make attendees experts, but rather to demystify the topic. It includes case studies and a discussion of specific investigative techniques. The webinar will give investigators and analysts the foundation that they need to understand these tools and communities, both how they are exploited by criminals and how they can be used by investigators and analysts.

Criminal investigators and analysts need to understand how it is possible for people to conceal and obfuscate their identity and location on the Internet. Two primary methods are through the use of proxies and virtual private networks (VPNs). This ability to hide one’s identity and location on the Internet can be both a challenge and an opportunity. Various methods of concealing identity and location, while engaged in activities on the Internet, provide an opportunity for investigators to engage in covert online research while also providing a means for criminals to engage in surreptitious communication in furtherance of nefarious activities. As technologies, such as digital device fingerprinting, emerge as ways to attribute identity this becomes a topic about which every investigator and analyst must become familiar. This webinar will include an overview of how the web was designed and functions.

A basic overview of IP fingerprinting, browser/software fingerprinting, and device fingerprinting will set the stage for a deeper dive into proxies and VPNs—two of the most common methods used both by criminals and criminal investigators to conceal their identities and locations while engaging in online social networking and online communication.

The dark web has the star quality and luster of a Hollywood movie, but in reality, it’s a den of inequity operated by the technically sophisticated. The more “Googleized” we’ve become as investigators and researchers, the less we understand what’s going on behind the scenes and how to operate in this nefarious world.

This webinar will examine the dark web, the channels used to institute private sales and exchanges, and criminal behavior. Participants will gain a thorough understanding of the dark web—criminality, anonymity, counterfeit products, child pornography, and human trafficking; learn the directory structures of the dark web; and learn dark web languages like Tor and Tails and the lingo of this underworld. Training will include exploring dark web channels for content and finding the resources and specialized search engines for searching against dark web content. Field investigators will understand how to use Tor safely and effectively, while learning the vulnerabilities, and be able to conduct undercover online investigations on the dark web.

In today’s world, social media dominates the way people communicate and it's where criminals exploit users. In many instances, evidence has been lost from online platforms such as Snapchat, Kik, and Facebook during an investigation because the evidence wasn't preserved.  In this webinar, we'll discuss the importance of preservation letters and how they can play a vital role in almost any investigation. The language to include in a preservation letter, how to submit them, and examples from trending platforms will also be covered. This webinar targets all levels of law enforcement.

Hundreds of incidents, shootings, workplace violence, other attacks are taking place across schools and communities every year. In response, schools and communities continue to invest their money, time, and efforts into more deterrents, like locks, metal detectors, cameras, etc., but what happens when attackers are undeterred like we’re seeing today? A different approach is needed to effectively collect and connect the dots before the attacks to prevent these undeterrable individuals from executing their plans.

That different approach means identifying the common gaps, silos, and disconnects that allow red flags and warning signs to go unanswered, disconnected, and sometimes unseen by the right people until it’s too late. This webinar will reveal not only what these common gaps, silos, and disconnects are but also share extensive research into incidents dating back to Columbine on why prevention failures continue to occur again and again even though more than enough red flags and warning signs existed.

The pains and costs of failed preventions are soaring and seemingly the number of “undeterrable” at-risk individuals are increasing as well. There is no better time than now to understand what’s possible and working for others right now.

The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) and the American Registry for Internet Numbers (ARIN) have joined together to develop a presentation specifically designed for law enforcement focused on cyber security and the roles our organizations play in helping to combat this ever-evolving problem. ICANN helps coordinates the names and numbers that are used as unique identifiers in the global Internet. It is tasked with helping make sure that the Domain Name System (DNS) remains stable, secure, and resilient. Carlos Alvarez, Director of Trust and Public Safety Engagement at ICANN, will provide an overview of security threats that target the DNS or that leverage it to attack others, and will share about anti-abuse efforts on the DNS and the domain name landscape that are relevant to law enforcement.

The American Registry for Internet Numbers (ARIN) is a nonprofit, member-based organization that supports the operation and growth of the Internet. ARIN accomplishes this by carrying out its core service, which is the management and distribution of Internet number resources such as Internet Protocol (IP) addresses and Autonomous System Numbers (ASNs) within its defined service region: Canada, the United States, and many Caribbean and North Atlantic islands. Investigating fraud and abuse in the registry is of utmost importance accurately and reliably maintaining registration information is core to ARIN’s mission. Number resource fraud threatens community trust in the registry and reduces the value of the registry to those who rely on it for network operations.

Leslie Nobile, Senior Director of Trust and Public Safety at ARIN, will provide an overview of the Regional Internet Registry (RIR) system and how it fits into the larger Internet ecosystem. She will discuss IP address fraud and abuse, RIR due diligence, tools that can help support law enforcement investigations, and RIR cooperation and collaboration with law enforcement.

Criminal, terror, and other types of illicit networks all need revenue streams to survive. This involves control of financial flows from the point of revenue generation through goal accomplishment. To some extent, many of these networks will engage in the international money movement processes maintained by financial institutions around the world in order to move the money in an efficient and secure manner.

This presentation will describe the legitimate processes used by illicit networks to move money through financial systems.

We will discuss:

• The role of the central banks and automated clearing houses, how they function and the information they maintain about transactions are valuable in an investigation 
• The "backbone of the financial network," SWIFT messaging
• Correspondent banking
• "The Travel Rule" and information sharing between banks involved in value transfer.

Just a mile away from the Pottawattamie County Sheriff’s Office in Council Bluffs, Iowa, a woman is shot during a nighttime stroll in a public park.  It's the latest in a bizarre series of events, three years into a five-year missing persons investigation.  Closing the case will take years of work, dozens of search warrants, and two weeks of testimony.

This presentation will provide a case study of the investigation and prosecution of a no-body homicide.  Getting to the verdict took thousands of hours of digital forensics to help prove premeditation and tie the killer, who hid themselves using VPNs and proxies, to years of online impersonations of their victim.

James Doty, Sergeant Investigator, Pottawattamie County Sheriff's Office
