2022 was one of the worst years for crypto crimes
The recent developments and challenges in the cryptocurrency and online scam landscape emphasize the critical role of blockchain forensics in safeguarding digital assets and prosecuting cybercriminals.
In the past year, several large firms, including Celsius, Three Arrows Capital, FTX, and others, imploded, with some facing allegations of fraud, making it one of the most tumultuous periods in cryptocurrency history.
Adding onto the institutional struggles, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) reported more than $10 billion in losses from online scams in 2022, marking the highest annual loss in the last five years, according to a report from the bureau released in March.
The report compiles a wide variety of fraud complaints – from marketing scams to ransomware – and US policymakers use it as a metric to measure the economic cost of hacking and other schemes to the American economy.
The report also said that hackers executed 87 attacks using a popular ransomware variant called Hive last year. The bureau seized the computer infrastructure of Hive operatives earlier this year, but not before hackers affiliated with the ransomware extorted more than $100 million from hospitals, schools, and other victims around the world.
In an era where the digital landscape is constantly evolving the importance of blockchain forensics cannot be overstated.
