Ep 79Its Exponential Crime: The shift to catch up to cybercrime

(2022). Understanding Romance Scammers Through the Lens of Their Victims: Qualitative Modeling of Risk and Protective Factors in the Online Context. American Journal of Criminal Justice , 1-37.https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s12103-022-09706-4Other:Old wine in new bottles is an old expression, that probably predates the modern English language. As Brinton Webb Woodward put in back in the 1890s book Old Wine in New Bottles for Old and New Friends, “ … we thresh over the same old straw. In literature we find, and decant, and bottle up the old wine,. We pour over the old liquor into new packages and put on labels of our own. Haply we filter away the lees and dregs which time had precipitated to the bottom.” This is quite a nice spin on the phrase as it suggests time as an important element in the process of refining ideas and the process of transference as one that removes the garbage and possibly leaving a little space for the new. That is more positive than the modern interpretation of old institutions with a new name. Interestingly, as it pertains to this particular conversation it could be seen as a turn on the biblical expression of new wine in old wineskins, “. And no man putteth new wine into old bottles; else the new wine will burst the bottles, and be spilled, and the bottles shall perish.” Luke 3:37. This older expression can be taken to suggest that new ideas must be received into a new institutions or there could be a problematic conflict between older structure, or that prior knowledge can negatively affect the understanding of new concepts.All this to say that the phrase ‘old wine in new bottles’ could be very appropriate to the process that is required for cybersecurity research, if we take Woodward’s interpretation. But it could really be a case of us struggling with ‘new wine in old bottles’.In either case, the value of new researchers doing new forms of research with new theory is apparent.

How Reliable Is That Stat?https://www.bankinfosecurity.com/blogs/60-hacked-small-businesses-fail-how-reliable-that-stat-p-2464The fact that we can't find who is responsible for these numbers is kind of the point of having record keeping. Just to put this claim in context in 2015 the US had 28.8 million Small businesses (https://www.sba.gov/sites/default/files/advocacy/United_States.pdf)If half of those businesses were hacked, as claimed that would be 14.4million Breaches. If 60% of those went out of business, that would be 8.64 million businesses folding, which you might expect would be noticed economically. In particular, it would mean that around half of the US population lost their job. I suspect that we might have noticed that.

Often this kind of discussion is around how a theory might shape the research methods that are chosen, in this case Dr van’t Hoff de Goede raised the issue of methods and theory reinforcing each other as the method provides proof of the theory and the theory provides valid application of the method. I am not a great discussant for this particular debate, but I would say that it provides an argument for a greater range of research methods being a component of strong science.

I don't think that mater data exists as a term but perhaps we will need it or something like it to describe the data that gave birth to other data. If we keep having to chase data back to its point of origin and it is being transformed and transferred by automatic processes we might well one day have deliberate conversations about mater data. That hasn't happened yet and in this case it was just another of my many mangled mispronunciations.

There might be a different in explanation of the meaning of a piece of evidence depending on the story they are presenting. The tools are an instrument of interpreting the meaning of information on a device and tools can make mistakes.

We used Zoom as well, and sometime it sounds like it has made an edit when it is managing bandwidth. So, Apologies for that. Also, I had allergies when doing the interviews, but it cleared up by the time I got to doing some inserts to help with the story flow, it sounds a little odd because of that. I wouldn't tell this to just anyone, but as you have been reading these show notes for so long I feel like we have gotten to be a little closer.
