The Cyber Security and Technology Crime Bureau (CSTCB) and INTERPOL co-hosted the 1st virtual Technology Crime Investigation Workshop on the theme of “Challenges of Technology Crime and Crime Trends in the Post-Pandemic Era” on July 7 and 8. The participants included 165 law enforcement officers and computer forensics experts from 45 countries and regions, as well as 100 Hong Kong police officers from various police districts and the Technology Crime Initial Response Cadre.
CSTCB invited local and overseas stakeholders, including law enforcement officers, a university professor as well as representatives from the Securities and Futures Commission and technology companies, to conduct an analysis on malware, and share their experience and skills in investigating technology crime, relevant regulations and the know-how to investigate and track cryptocurrency. The workshop enhanced the participants’ knowledge on the newly emerged technology crime trend and the approaches to handle relevant cases. It also provided an online platform for the participants to exchange their experience in fighting technology crime.
On July 9, Chief Superintendent of CSTCB Dr Law Yuet-wing chaired the 6th Annual Meeting of the INTERPOL Global Cybercrime Expert Group (IGCEG) online as the Chairman once again. Over 180 law enforcement officers, scholars and experts from public and private sectors from 64 countries and regions attended the meeting. INTERPOL officers and representatives from different sectors discussed how to enhance international collaboration and capacity building under the impact of the pandemic and the way forward for the IGCEG.
On July 12, CSTCB also joined the INTERPOL High-level Forum on Ransomware online, during which management personnel of law enforcement agencies and cyber security companies from different countries and regions explored ways to combat ransomware through public-private partnership and intelligence exchange.
The conclusion of both meetings will be submitted to the INTERPOL General Secretariat to formulate global strategies to fight cybercrime. CSTCB will continue to work with relevant stakeholders to promote international cooperation to combat technology crime.
