Cyber Attack Protection via Crowdsourcing

This article proposes the creation of a global crowdsourcing platform (hereinafter, referred to as the “Platform”) that allows any Internet user to share information about sources of cyber attacks. After this information is processed, the Platform will provide its users with statistical reports identifying the sources of multiple attacks. Organizations will be able to use the reports to adopt preventive measures. Law enforcement authorities will be able to use the reports to identify attackers causing severe societal harm.
