In recent years, with the continuous advancement of blockchain technology innovation, some criminals have also begun to use blockchain to carry out illegal and criminal activities. Facing the endless fraud, how should we prevent it?
What is the current advanced anti-fraud technology?
"Blockchain + virtual currency" fraud is increasing
The prosperity of blockchain technology has not only accelerated the development of the digital economy, but also spawned a variety of new crime methods.
In the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, fans all over the world enjoyed a series of wonderful games.
But on the other side of the hot-blooded arena, new technologies represented by blockchain have also widely penetrated the field of gambling.
"Real-time live broadcast, confirmation of betting within seconds, and stable deposit and withdrawal of virtual currency within seconds"...According to media reports, before the start of the World Cup, all kinds of virtual currency gambling advertisements have begun to spread, with free registration, recharge discounts, and huge odds and other ways to attract netizens to bet.
Digital financial scams are becoming more common around the world.
According to the statistics of Okey Cloud Chain Research Institute, there are currently more than 50 forms of online fraud.
Criminals are also constantly using new technologies and means to change their criminal methods, especially the rapid development of blockchain technology and the increasing number of virtual currency crimes.
Xiao Shiqi, product director of OKLink, said that blockchain technology is a double-edged sword. On the one hand, it appears in front of everyone in the form of an efficient distributed ledger, showing a very high attitude of technological innovation; on the other hand, , Blockchain technology also determines that related crimes have the characteristics of secrecy, complexity, and extensiveness. It also makes it difficult to track funds, addresses, and cases on the chain, obtain evidence, and take a long time to handle cases.
Entering the era of Web 3.0, blockchain technology challenges the legal supervision system of cyber-financial crimes, and the legal supervision and governance of virtual currency crimes is becoming a long-term public issue.
New digital security technologies accelerate adoption
In the face of constantly refurbished fraud methods, the popularization of new digital security technologies is also accelerating, helping law enforcement agencies to solve cases faster and recover victims' losses.
For example, use artificial intelligence, big data, blockchain and other technologies to deal with it, and do a good job of early warning and post-event investigation.
According to the official account of China Police Network, in order to thoroughly implement the three-year action plan for revitalizing the police through science and technology, recently, the "Chain Sky Eye Technology Assists the Police in China" was jointly organized by China Police Network and the blockchain big data technology company Okey Cloud Chain. The launching ceremony was held in Beijing. From March onwards, offline technology-assisted police activities will be carried out in various places to further help effectively combat and prevent virtual currency crimes.
"In the use of technological means to combat virtual currency crimes, blockchain big data analysis and judgment has become a key tool for assisting police and investigation. The traceability and tamper-proof characteristics of blockchain technology ensure the authenticity and accuracy of electronic evidence. Big data technologies such as traceability and collection can strengthen the in-depth mining of massive data on the chain, which can extract valuable investigative clues and quickly improve the detection efficiency of related cases." Liu Jun, vice president of Okey Cloud Chain, introduced.
Xiao Shiqi said that the Okey Cloud Chain has been committed to providing technological empowerment for law enforcement agencies to combat cryptocurrency crimes, and to let the society learn more about on-chain technology and on-chain security knowledge.
