While there have been many attention-grabbing headlines about the rise of cybercrime during the coronavirus pandemic, as ever, most proved to be wide of the mark. We are delighted for Geoff to join us as he takes us behind the hyperbole, with a fascinating cybercrime story of how the different groups that make up today’s cyber threat responded to the global pandemic.

Geoff reports for BBC News, Forbes online and Channel 4 News, among others, on tech’s impact on our lives. His exclusives have covered everything from developments in artificial intelligence to fraud in the internet dating industry. His book on cybercrime “Crime Dot Com” is on sale from Monday 10 August 2020. You can also catch up on Geoff’s fascinating podcast series that takes you inside the stories behind the murky world of cybercrime. Search for “Cybercrime Investigations” on your podcast player.
