"So Zack Whittaker (of TechCrunch and this week in security fame) and I were chatting about some of the many threats we've had to deal with over the years - threats of litigation, criminal charges, and threats by criminals all leapt immediately to mind. Maybe one day, someone will create a bingo card for countries researchers and journalists can't visit, but for now, we were just kicking around the idea of co-authoring an article or co-hosting a panel at some conference."
"We created a pilot survey to start to increase awareness and promote more research and serious consideration. The survey ran from December 20 to January 18. We've now analyzed some of the data from the 112 respondents, and have written up some of the preliminary findings. But there is so much more that needs to be investigated in depth and with a larger and representative sample."
A pilot survey was created to collect data on threats faced by security researchers and journalists reporting on cybercrime and cybercriminals. The survey ran from December 20 to January 18 and gathered responses from 112 participants. Preliminary findings have been analyzed and written up, but deeper investigation with a larger, representative sample is needed. The pilot aims to increase awareness, promote more research, and motivate efforts to identify and address the risks encountered by researchers and journalists. A new "Threats" news category has been established to compile related research and news items.
