After the Attack: Introduction to the Cybercrime Minitrack

At the HICSS-56 held in 2023, cybercrime was introduced as a multidisciplinary study area. Following a series of informative presentations, the Cybercrime minitrack returns in 2024 for HICSS-57, featuring a wealth of high-caliber research. In response to the call for papers, nine manuscripts from various disciplines were submitted and subjected to peer and editorial review. Three papers were accepted for presentation and publication. All of these have a strong focus on how to respond optimally when organizations and individuals are successfully cyber-attacked. Hence, despite initial submissions on a range of significant topics, the final shape of this year’s minitrack emphasizes the role of communication in cybercrime research.
