معرفی
Jack Whittaker is a Postgraduate Research Student at the University of Surrey, affiliated with the Sociology department and the Centre of Digital Economy. His research project, titled Understanding non-delivery fraud: platform crime ecosystems and regulatory control gaps, examines fraudulent Cameroonian-operated product websites and evaluates domain registrars' responses to abuse reports.
While no formal education details are provided, his work reflects a focus on criminology and digital ecosystems. His research interests include cybercrime, fraud prevention mechanisms, and the sociotechnical dimensions of online consumer behavior. He has explored topics such as 'pig butchering' fraud, technology's role in enabling crime, and regulatory challenges in digital platforms.
His publications from 2020 to 2025 highlight a progression from specific case studies (e.g., pet scams) to broader analyses of fraud enablement and cross-border criminal operations. He also engages in media discussions, such as a BBC News interview on Coronavirus tests and masks sold by fraudsters online.
No scientific awards or grants are explicitly mentioned. He currently has no listed advisees, reflecting his student status. His involvement with the Centre of Digital Economy suggests engagement with interdisciplinary teams, though specific lab or team affiliations are not detailed.
