Dr Suleman Lazarus earned all his university degrees in the United Kingdom, including a doctorate from the University of Portsmouth. He is an Associate Editor of Digital Threats: Research and Practice, the peer-reviewed journal of the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM).
He developed the Tripartite Cybercrime Framework (TCF), which categorises cybercrimes into three core motivational categories: socioeconomic, psychosocial, and geopolitical.
Dr Lazarus also introduced and developed the term “Scholar-Baiting,” a sub-genre of spear phishing defined as a narrative-based form of social engineering in which cybercriminals exploit epistemic trust, academic identity, and emotionally charged narratives to deceive researchers and scholars.
His research primarily explores the intersection of online deviants and society across various contexts, such as Ghana, Nigeria, Cameroon, Cambodia, and the United Kingdom.
