We need more cybercrime investigators from all backgrounds and working in every sector to conduct effective investigations. This book is a comprehensive resource for everyone who encounters and investigates cybercrime, no matter their title, including those working on behalf of law enforcement, private organizations, regulatory agencies, or individual victims. It provides helpful background material about cybercrime's technological and legal underpinnings, plus in-depth detail about the legal and practical aspects of conducting cybercrime investigations.

Key features of this book include:

John Bandler and Antonia Merzon served together as Assistant District Attorneys at the New York County District Attorney's Office (DANY), hired by the legendary Robert Morgenthau. They investigated and prosecuted a wide variety of criminal offenses, ranging from those that garnered headlines to the many that received little attention but were equally essential for the administration of justice and protection of the public. Antonia founded and led the Identity Theft Unit (since renamed the Cybercrime and Identity Theft Bureau), recruiting John as an early member. The unit's work quickly revealed the close connection between identify theft and cybercrime, and brought amazing cases, including the Western Express case, which you will read about.

John Bandler runs a law firm and a consulting practice that helps organizations and individuals with cybersecurity, cybercrime investigations, and anti-money laundering efforts among other areas. Before becoming a prosecutor, he served as a State Trooper in the New York State Police for eight years, assigned to one of the state's busiest stations that provided full police services to the local community. While serving in the State Police he attended law school at night at Pace University School of Law, and upon graduating he went to work for Mr. Morgenthau. Since leaving government service he has represented a range of clients, from individuals to banks, on many issues ranging from cybersecurity, privacy, anti-fraud, and threats. John is admitted to the bars of New York, Connecticut, and Washington D.C., holds a number of certifications, and writes, lectures, and teaches on law, cybersecurity, cybercrime, and more.

Antonia Merzon provides legal and consulting expertise related to security, investigations and law enforcement, especially as they intersect with the worlds of law, technology, privacy, and fraud. She graduated from Fordham University School of Law and then was hired by Mr. Morgenthau. During her time at DANY, she built the new Identity Theft Unit that investigated and prosecuted cybercrime and virtual currency money laundering - before these areas were in the public awareness - and developed the unit's digital forensic and investigative capacity. Cybercrime and traditional investigations are among her specialties, including developing best practices. She also is an expert on a diverse array of investigation and litigation best practices for law enforcement, including the use of body-worn cameras, eyewitness identification, and the electronic recording of custodial interrogations.

約翰·班德勒（John Bandler）和安東尼婭·默茲翁（Antonia Merzon）曾在紐約縣地方檢察官辦公室（DANY）擔任助理地方檢察官，由傳奇人物羅伯特·莫根索（Robert Morgenthau）聘請。他們調查和起訴各種犯罪行為，從引起大標題的案件到鮮為人知但同樣對司法行政和公眾保護至關重要的案件。安東尼婭創立並領導了身份盜竊單位（現已更名為網絡犯罪和身份盜竊局），並招募了約翰作為早期成員。該單位的工作很快揭示了身份盜竊和網絡犯罪之間的密切聯繫，並帶來了一些驚人的案件，包括您將在書中閱讀到的Western Express案件。

約翰·班德勒經營著一家律師事務所和一家咨詢公司，該公司在網絡安全、網絡犯罪調查和反洗錢等領域為組織和個人提供幫助。在成為檢察官之前，他在紐約州警察局擔任州警察八年，被派駐在該州最繁忙的警察局之一，為當地社區提供全面的警察服務。在州警察局服務期間，他在晚上上了佩斯大學法學院的夜校，畢業後去了莫根索先生的辦公室工作。離開政府服務後，他代表了一系列的客戶，從個人到銀行，處理各種問題，包括網絡安全、隱私、反欺詐和威脅。約翰被紐約、康乃狄克和華盛頓特區的律師協會接納，擁有多項認證，並在法律、網絡安全、網絡犯罪等方面撰寫、講授和教學。

安東尼婭·默茲翁提供與安全、調查和執法相關的法律和咨詢專業知識，特別是與法律、技術、隱私和欺詐等領域相交的部分。她畢業於福特漢姆大學法學院，然後被莫根索先生聘請。在DANY期間，她建立了新的身份盜竊單位，調查和起訴網絡犯罪和虛擬貨幣洗錢，這些領域在公眾意識中還不被重視，並發展了該單位的數字取證和調查能力。網絡犯罪和傳統調查是她的專長之一，包括制定最佳實踐。她還是執法機構各種調查和訴訟最佳實踐的專家，包括使用身體攜帶攝像頭、目擊識別和對被羈押人進行電子錄音等。
