Criminals using new tactics to maximize their illegal income, the land of cryptographic scams changes at a worrying speed.
Recent data from the Blockchain Legal Medicine Society The analysis chain reveals A significant change in the operation of the crooks, showing a preference to target more victims with smaller quantities rather than focusing on large fish.
This transformation represents a central turning point in the scene of cryptographic crime, where criminal success seems to depend on the adaptation.
The rise of the pig butcher’s shop and high -performance investment plans
The figures show a clear image of the current scene of cryptographic fraud. Representing 50% and 33% respectively, high -performance investment scams and pig slaughter operations dominated the sector.
The pig butchery phenomenon, in particular, experienced an amazing 210% increase in total deposits throughout 2024, despite a 55% drop in the average size of deposits per victim.
These fraud, which were part of confidence before committing fraud, are now faster and more widespread.
Since 2020, the fraud projections of the chain chain have climbed 24% per year. If its growth rate corresponds to this year’s crypto crime report, its 2024 totals could approach $ 12 billion.

From Southeast to global operations
What started in the dark corners of the Southeast Asian Fraud Hotots has now extended around the world. The evolution has been rapid and useful. Scholars are now using job scams that have a quick return and false home work opportunities in addition to their long -term typical tactics.

Its development has been deliberate, not just spatial. For example, the Huione warranty platform has managed $ 70 billion in digital currency transactions since 2021, which raises serious questions concerning the role of supposedly reliable platforms to authorize these frauds.
The new face of Crypto crime
The evolution of cryptographic scams goes beyond the basic “pork murder”. The explosive nature of these attacks is shown by a 15,000% increase in addressing regimes after a major attack in May of last year.
Not far behind with an increase in deposit of 70% and a wave of revenue of 170% were cryptography drainer. The emergence of live fraud and the prevalence of blackmail and sextrusions paint a disturbing image of these dirty activities.
The data indicates a more calculated criminal approach than a degree of declining fraud sophistication. The crooks invest less time to take care of each victim and target fewer funds to simplify their operations.
The widespread use of cryptocurrency for fraud has created new problems for the application of laws and Bitcoin users. As these programs grow, it becomes more important to understand more advanced monitoring methods and how they protect possible victims against threats that are still changing.
