Real Crimes in Virtual Worlds
Lt. Chuck Cohen
Special Investigations & Criminal Intelligence Commander
Indiana State Police
There are over 100 virtual worlds and massive multiplayer online games, with over 200 additional expected to be released in the next year. Each is a community in which people and organizations from around the real world can interact. There are over 10 million users in World of Warcraft alone. Many virtual worlds have their own virtual economies with real-world exchange rates. As in the real world, these virtual communities have an inevitable criminal population.
This session will focus on the ability of criminals to communicate, exchange funds, and commit crimes on these platforms. This ability presents an unprecedented challenge for law enforcement and prosecutorial efforts. It also presents unprecedented opportunities for those that understand the implications of this emerging technology.
