Contest Brief

We are helping to develop fraud-resistant technologies to help protect consumers from credit card, debit card, and bank account fraud. We are seeking someone that can help with our research to answer some questions in order to product the most effective security product for protecting consumers.
The best researcher will be able to answer the questions below most accurately and in-depth. Add us on Skype at mccray.media to discuss the contest and project in more detail.

1) Who are the biggest known active cyber criminals (or aliases) linked with credit card, debit card, or bank account fraud today (worldwide)?
2) What methods do these criminals use, what methods are the most difficult to track for law enforcement, and why?
3) What security systems or law enforcement methods are in place currently to counteract these criminal methods? What makes these systems/methods effective or ineffective and why? Are there flaws in these systems?
4) Once cyber criminals breach the security of huge databases and acquire the credit or debit card info of many users, how do these individuals use credit card, debit card, or bank account and routing numbers to launder money overseas and somehow transfer the funds back into their own accounts locally?
5) What are the agencies and securities in place nationally and internationally to prevent criminals from doing this? In what ways are these methods of prevention effective and in what ways are they ineffective?
6) Are there better technologies that could be created to prevent such fraud and money laundering? What features would these technologies require?
7) Are there blackhat technologies readily available that make fraud easier for these cyber criminals? What are the flaws/advantages of these technologies for the criminals? How do whitehat technologies help deter/prevent these types of crimes?
8) How could preventative whitehat technologies exploit the flaws in the most commonly available blackhat technologies?
9) Who are the top five most wanted cyber criminals today (names or aliases)? What methods do these criminals use? Why are these methods successful and what are their flaws?
10) Who are the best companies or law enforcement agencies in fraud protection today in the U.S.? What about internationally? What methods do these agencies use? Why are these methods successful and what are their flaws?

  Part of the way we choose candidates is based on the effort the contribute, regardless of current incentives. We start small with people we partner with, build trust and synergy, and progressively move on to bigger and bigger projects with the individuals we select.

  That's understandable, but I'm not sure you'll be able to achieve those ends on a grand scale in this particular competition. There's still time left before the contest expires. So, we'll see. I guess.
