CybercrimeologyAuthor: Cybercrimeology
Cybercrimeology is a podcast about cybercrime, its research and its researchers. We talk to top researchers from around the world to learn about different forms of cybercrime and their research. We learn about cybercrime theory, organized crime online, Darknet drug markets, cybercrime awareness and crime prevention, technology-facilitated intimate partner violence and much more. The podcast has been running since November of 2019 and there is still so much to learn. I am happy to have you along for the journey into this fascinating subject.

Monday, 1 September, 2025
Show Notes:Daniëlle began her academic path in psychology, later moving into criminology through her interest in decision making and online behaviour.Her PhD research at NSCR focuses on cybercriminal decision making, using honeypots and experiments in real online environments.Early experiments tested how different rewards affected access attempts on fake accounts.A major focus has been on the impact of Operation Cookie Monster (2023), which disrupted the Genesis Market. Danielle’s work examined how this law enforcement operation influenced behaviour and moderation practices on hacker forums.She emphasizes the value of experiments in the field, which allow researchers to test criminological theories with live offender behaviour, while balancing strict ethical and legal safeguards.About our guest:Danielle StibbeNSCR Profile Page: https://nscr.nl/en/medewerker/danielle-stibbe-msc/Google Scholar: https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=1fsHJEgAAAAJ&hl=enLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/danielle-stibbe/?originalSubdomain=nlPapers or resources mentioned in this episode:Onaolapo, J., Mariconti, E., & Stringhini, G.
