This week in cybersecurity from the editors at Cybercrime Magazine
Sausalito, Calif. – Jan. 29, 2026The Mob Museum’s timely new exhibit “Digital Underworld” explores the rise of cybercrime as the newest frontier of organized crime, and it’s captured in a new video released on the award-winning Cybercrime Magazine YouTube channel.
The exhibit traces the evolution of cybercrime from mischievous hackers experimenting in the 1970s and ’80s to today’s sophisticated ransomware organizations that steal millions of dollars daily, underscoring the threat to anyone with an internet-connected device.
A central feature of the exhibit is a live cyberthreat map developed by a global leader in cybersecurity solutions Check Point Software Technologies. The display shows cyberattacks occurring in real time around the world, offering guests a vivid visualization of the scale and persistence of modern-day threats.
A large wall mural and panel devoted to ransomware illustrate how these criminal enterprises operate like high-tech startups, underscoring the staggering costs of ransomware — an estimated $156 million lost every day, according to Cybersecurity Ventures.
“Digital Underworld” is located in the Museum’s Organized Crime Today gallery on the first floor.
The Mob Museum in downtown Las Vegas is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization with a mission to advance the public understanding of organized crime’s history and impact on American society. The Museum offers a provocative, contemporary look at these topics through hundreds of artifacts and immersive exhibits.

Swarmer, a sophisticated tool designed to manipulate Windows registry hives while bypassing endpoint detection systems. The tool exploits legacy Windows infrastructure to achieve persistent access without triggering traditional EDR monitoring systems that typically flag direct registry modifications. Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) solutions have significantly hardened defenses against conventional registry persistence techniques. Classic methods using […]
