Oxford University cybercrime expert Jonathan Lusthaus spent seven years interviewing law enforcement agents, security gurus, hackers and criminals.

To shed light on this murky underworld, he speaks with James Der Derian, outlining a highly organised profit-driven enterprise, and the informal arrangements that underpin cooperation among anonymous criminals in a low-trust environment.
