[Robert W Gehl]

# CALL FOR PAPERS: CYBERCRIME AT THE 56TH HAWAII INTERNATIONAL 
CONFERENCE ON SYSTEM SCIENCES

Research of the Internet as a site for communication and networking has 
focused mostly on legal practices. Recent years have nevertheless seen a 
significant increase in cybercrime, including illegal commerce being
conducted on various platforms. In the public eye, much of it is 
associated with the non-indexed Dark Web, but research tells us that it 
is likewise present on many clear web sites and being conducted via 
numerous social media and instant messaging services.

Rarely a day goes by without cybercrime being reported in the media. 
Examples include online trading in narcotics and other illicit goods and 
services, the hijacking of individual accounts and organizational 
systems, extortion, exit scams, fake investments in cryptocurrencies and 
even blatant information manipulation for financial gain.

This minitrack aim is to give insights and develop a theoretical and 
practical understanding of issues related to cybercrime without 
excluding any methodological approaches. We welcome conceptual, 
theoretical, empirical and methodological papers that enrich our 
understanding of illegal online practices. Topics of interest include,
but are not limited to:

* Trading in illicit goods and services online
* The use of the Dark Web as a marketplace or information sharing 
environment
* Using social media and instant messaging services for illicit trading
* Ransomware
*Phishing and scamming
*Cryptomarkets and cryptocurrencies
*Information manipulation for commercial gain
*Dark Web deception, risk, security, and privacy
* Differences between legal and illegal online trading
* Regional differences in cybercrime
* Investigative techniques and methods for cybercrimes
