b'with Joel de la Garza, Jonathan Lusthaus, and @omnivorousread\\n\\nCybercrime is unfortunately as evergreen a topic as the problem itself\\u2014which is why we\\u2019re re-running this popular security episode all about the criminal industry of cybercrime from 2019. \\n\\nThe idea of the cybercriminal as lone wolf or hobby hacker is no longer much of a reality. Instead, the business of cybercrime looks a lot more like a large, global technology business, with many of the same structures, challenges, and even casts of characters that legitimate businesses have. In this conversation, a16z\\u2019s Joel de la Garza, a16z operating partner for information security (formerly CSO of Box and head Citigroup\\u2019s Cyber Intelligence Center), and Hanne Tidnam, discuss with Jonathan Lusthaus, Director of the Human Cybercriminal Project at the University of Oxford, the evolution of cybercrime into a sprawling and sophisticated international industry.'
