Abstract/Description
This panel is presenting results from a survey of 238 active, malicious hackers recruited from the ZoneH website.

Additionally, we look into their offending behaviors, specifically sex crimes and crimes against children. We also dive into what other communities these offenders subscribe to, including gangs and extremist groups.
