There's a lot of evil things on the Internet if you know where to look for them.

Phishing websites collect banking credentials; mule recruitment websites entice people into money laundering; fake escrow sites defraud the winners of online auctions; fake banks hold the cash for fake African dictators; and there are even Ponzi scheme websites where (almost) everyone knows that they're a scam.

This talk will show you live examples of these sites, explain how they work, and tell you what little we currently know about the criminals who operate them.
