ABSTRACT
Smart cities rapidly deploy infrastructure for information and communication technologies (ICTs) and digitize the available information, creating models reflecting specific interactions and domains. The "Internet of Things" (IoT) is a prominent key technology that enables connections and communications with a vast number of smart city "things". Cybercrime is crime committed using computing and communication systems such as computers and networks. The chapter provides a primer on cybercrime in smart cities and possible technological countermeasures to it. It introduces the threat landscape, both for citizen-facing systems and smart infrastructures, and a survey of real-world incidents of attacks against smart cities. The chapter discusses the security and privacy requirements for IoT-based smart city components and the integration of citizen concerns and considerations in the design. Finally, it describes a list of recommendations for designing and deploying citizen-centric IoT-based systems for future smart cities.
