• Abstract: This study unveils the elusive presence of criminal signatures in cyberspace, validating for the first time their existence through statistical evidence. By applying the A priori algorithm to the modus operandi of Advanced Persistent Threats, extracted from an extensive corpus of over 17,000 articles spanning 2007 to 2020, we highlight the enduring patterns leveraged by sophisticated cyber criminals. Our findings verify the existence of unique signatures associated with advanced cybercriminals, bridging a crucial gap in current understanding of human behavior in cyber-attacks. This pivotal research sets the foundation for an entirely new academic intersection in cybersecurity and computational criminology.

  The explosive growth of cyber attacks nowadays, such as malware, spam, and intrusions, caused severe consequences on society. Traditional Machine Learning (ML) based methods are extensively used in detecting cyber threats, but they hardly model the correlations between real-world cyber entities. With the proliferation of graph mining techniques, many researchers investigated these techniques for capturing correlations between cyber entities and achieving high performance.

  This work proposes a Spatial-Temporal Hypergraph Self-Supervised Learning framework to tackle the label scarcity issue in crime prediction. We propose the cross-region hypergraph structure learning to encode region-wise crime dependency under the entire urban space. We also design the dual-stage self-supervised learning paradigm, to not only jointly capture local- and global-level spatial-temporal crime patterns, but also supplement the sparse crime representation by augmenting region self-discrimination.

  We propose Spatial-Temporal Sequential Hypergraph Network (ST-SHN) to collectively encode complex crime spatial-temporal patterns. In particular, to handle spatial-temporal dynamics under the long-range and global context, we design a graph-structured message passing architecture. We conduct extensive experiments on two real-world datasets, showing that our proposed ST-SHN framework can significantly improve the prediction performance.

We then propose algoname, a simple yet practical algorithm yielding a provably better competitive ratio for $k=2$ over the current best single threshold algorithm.
