With the constant rise of bandwidth available and with more and more services shifting into the connected world, criminals as well as political organizations are increasingly active in the virtual world. While Spam and Phishing, as well as Botnets are of concern on the cyber-crime side, recruiting, as well as destructive attacks against critical infrastructures are becoming an increasing threat to our modern societies. Although reactive strategies are useful to mitigate the intensity of cyber-criminal activities, the benefits of proactive strategies aimed to anticipate emerging threats, future crimes, and to devise the corresponding countermeasures are evident.

The aim of the First International Workshop on Future Scenarios for CyberCrime and CyberTerrorism is to anticipate the future of cyber-criminal activities, enabling governments, businesses and citizens to prepare themselves for the risks and challenges of the coming years. The first step towards the creation of a strategic roadmap for future research on cyber-crime and cyber-terrorism is the building of scenarios on the future transformations of the society, business activities, production of goods, commodities, etc. The aim of FCCT 2015 is to create a forum on scenario building and creation of research roadmaps for cyber-crime and cyber-terrorism. The building of future scenarios should allow the identification of the main driving forces and factors that will shape the evolution of cybercrime and cyberterrorism. A principled analysis of the differences between the current state of play and the future scenarios should allow drawing roadmaps and priorities of future research on cybercrime and cyberterrorism.
