We established the Cybercrime Information Center to serve as a repository for studies, measurements, data sets, statistics, and analyses of global security threats involving the Internet’s unique identifier systems.

The project mission is to identify and expose domain name system (DNS) and Internet addressing systems abuse and the contexts in which it occurs. The Center's data repository allows cyber investigators, policy makers, and researchers to:

• discover where criminals obtain the resources they need to pursue their attacks;

• identify and observe concentrations of criminal activity;measure, quantify, and rank resource providers—registries, registrars, and resellers;

• measure, quantify, and rank service providers (ISPs, web, DNS, mail and clould hosting providers) and;

• observe and analyze criminal behavior over time, and

• identify and codify indicators that lead to the discovery of new abusive domains.
