Samantha Poling reports on the global rise of cybercrime and asks what measures are in place to stop those who buy and sell personal data to make billions.
It's known as the dark side of the web, a criminal underworld of hackers and fraudsters whose sole purpose is to steal as much of our hard-earned cash from us as possible. We Britons spend half a billion pounds a week on the internet but just how safe is our money and what is being done to protect us from the global rise of cybercrime? Samantha Poling investigates the toxic world of online gangsters. In a journey which takes her from the foot soldiers of fraud operating in the back streets of Britain to the organised crime gangs in Moscow's gritty suburbs, she goes on the hunt for those who buy and sell our data to make billions.
