This innovative practice full paper describes our experiences conducting cybersecurity capture the flag (CTF) competition for cybersecurity enthusiast participants (inclusive of both tertiary students and working professionals) local and abroad during the COVID-19 pandemic. Learning and appreciation of cybersecurity concepts for our participants with little to no technical background can be challenging. Gamification methods such as capture the flag competition style is a popular form of cybersecurity education to help participants overcome this challenge and identify talents. Participants get to apply theoretical concepts in a controlled environment, solve hands-on tasks in an informal, game-like setting and gain hands-on active learning …

To reduce the availability of hacking tools for violators in committing cybersecurity offences, many countries have enacted the legislation to criminalize the production, distribution and possession of computer misuse tools with offensive intent. However, the dual-use nature of cybersecurity technology increases the difficulty in the legal process to recognize computer misuse tools and predict their harmful outcome, which leads to unintended impacts of the enforcement on the provision of techniques valuable for information security defence. Leveraging an external shock in online hacker forums, this study examines the potential impacts of the enforcement of computer misuse on users' contribution to information …

Without increased government intervention andgovernment-industry collaboration, the advantages inherent in the next wave ofInternet-enabled digital transformation will increasingly tilt towardcyber criminals, and their influence will disproportionately increase. The dilemma that immediately presents itself in such ascenario, however, is that an increased level of government involvement canalso lead to undesirable consequences. Increasing security always comes withtrade-offs that must be managed. The obvious concerns relate to the erosion ofprivacy, illegal or extralegal persecution, the abuse of Internet censorshipand the impediment to or stifling of innovation.
