The 15th edition of the #OctopusConference on cooperation on cybercrime and electronic evidence reunited over 500 professionals from 100 countries in Strasbourg, France. They exchanged on #electronicevidence, #artificialintelligence, #cyberviolence, cyber interference with #democracy, crypto-investigations, pig-butchering, cybercrime as #warcrime, as well as #youth and #cybercrime. The Conference was opened by Alain Berset (Secretary General of the Council of Europe), Jonathan Attard (Minister of Justice, on behalf of the Presidency of Malta of the Committee of Ministers) and Samuel Nartey George (Minister for Communication, Digital Technology and Innovations of Ghana). #Keymessages emerged from each session and workshop, as well as from the overall conference, with a renewed invitation to make use of the tools provided by the framework of the Convention on Cybercrime (#BudapestConvention) and related standards for continuing the #internationalcooperation against cybercrime. Participants (public sector, private sector, civil society, academia) also welcomed that #SãoToméandPríncipe as well as #Vanuatu deposited instruments of accession to the Convention on Cybercrime, that #Fiji signed the #SecondAdditionalProtocol on electronic evidence to this treaty, and that #Malta joined the #FirstAdditionalProtocol on xenophobia and racism during the Conference.
