Norton Releases New Documentary On How Privacy Laws Protect Cybercriminals

Norton is releasing a new documentary today called “Where Cybercrime Goes to Hide,” exposing hacker hideouts. It explores the implications of legitimate data havens and the cybercriminals seeking refuge within them.

Every day, nameless and faceless cybercriminals are carrying out large-scale attacks, and getting away with it by covering their tracks. Privacy measures such as cyberbunkers and bulletproof hosters help cybercriminals stay anonymous, but we know the impact on the consumer is significant.

Quick Facts about “Where Cybercrime Goes to Hide”:

  • The new documentary was directed by Academy Award-winner Daniel Junge and is approximately 24 minutes long.
  • In June 2015, Norton released the first episode called “In Search of The Most Dangerous Town On the Internet” – you can find it here.
  • The film was shot in 6 countries and 7 data centers.
  • Interviewees include large-scale hackers, cyber-crime authorities, bulletproof hosters and more.
  • Bulletproof hosting can be secure bunkers which provide connectivity and physically store your data to hosters that continue to ignore abuse complaints and claims of illegal activity. Whether you’re a legitimate business or a criminal, you pick the hoster that best suits your needs.
  • Criminals need bulletproof hosting because they need to be able to keep their website operational.

This is an eye opening documentary that you should look at. I’ve posted it below:
