Roy Ricaldi's research examines the evolution of cybercriminal ecosystems, focusing on the shift from traditional forum-based communities to decentralized platforms like Telegram. By analyzing the structure, behaviors, and motivations within these spaces, he identifies where credible cyber threats emerge and how they are distributed. Employing a multidisciplinary approach, he combines quantitative monitoring tools and qualitative methods to study these environments. This work, conducted at Eindhoven University of Technology in collaboration with NSCR, aims to enhance threat intelligence and improve cybersecurity defenses against evolving cybercrime threats.
