CEWE 2015 - 3rd International Workshop on Cybercrimes and Emerging Web Environments

The web has integrated innovative technologies in order to advance its services and accommodate future concepts and needs. It is considered an interactive and collaborative medium of the modern era. However, the constant and increased development of web services, transforms the web environments to playgrounds for fraudsters.
Cybercriminals are becoming increasingly adept at taking advantage of technology both to perform the criminal act and to avoid detection. While the use of computers and the Internet become even more popular, at the same time cybercriminals take advantage of existing and emerging vulnerabilities and increase their ways of attacking systems. It is believed that new types of crimes that involve computers and the web emerge on a constant basis.
The scope of this workshop is to provide an international forum for researchers and field experts to present and discuss Cybercrimes under the constantly emerging web environment. It also aims to explore the prevention, detection and investigation of Cybercrimes.
