· Stay alert and avoid high-return temptations: High-yield, zero-risk investments are often scams.
· Verify the legitimacy of trading platforms: Use regulated trading platforms and avoid clicking on unknown links in social media advertisements.
· Avoid transferring money to strangers: Do not easily trust "investment mentors" or "friends" met online.
· Be cautious of cryptocurrency ATM transactions: Scammers often require victims to make payments through ATMs, so be vigilant.
· Use two-factor authentication (2FA): Enhance account security and prevent hacker intrusions.
Summary
The FBI's "2024 Cryptocurrency Fraud Report" reveals new trends in cybercrime in the current crypto asset environment: Cryptocurrency-related cases have significantly increased, with individuals over 60 being the primary victims; fraud methods have become highly professionalized and internationalized. Cryptocurrency has become the preferred tool for criminals to launder and transfer funds.
Despite some progress in asset recovery and cross-border law enforcement cooperation, given the overall scale of losses and growth trends, ordinary users still need to remain highly vigilant, effectively improve their security awareness, and avoid falling into various fraud traps. For governments and financial institutions, continuously strengthening international collaboration, regulatory enforcement, and tracking fund flows will be key measures to curb cybercrime and improve enforcement efficiency.
