Crypto Crime

Definition

Crypto Crime refers to illegal activities conducted using cryptocurrencies or blockchain technology. This category includes fraud, money laundering, ransomware attacks, and theft from digital asset exchanges or personal wallets. Such offenses often exploit vulnerabilities in smart contracts, phishing scams, or security weaknesses within decentralized finance protocols. Tracing these illicit transactions presents unique challenges due to pseudonymous addresses and global reach.
