The championship among the states with the highest rating in terms of criminal activity that is associated with cryptocurrency belongs to North Korea.
Coincub research confirms that North Korea is clearly leading the way in terms of crime committed in the field of cryptocurrency use. In particular, at least 7,000 information technology specialists serve the government, thanks to which the state budget receives funds received as a result of successfully completed hacker attacks. So, at least 15 crimes related to cryptocurrency have been confirmed. Revenue equates to $1.6 billion.
The underground crypto-economy of the United States of America, which is oversized and full of fraud cases, has allowed it to take an honorable second place. In the US, there are 14 documented crimes involving cryptocurrencies worth over $2 billion.
The Russian Federation is in third place. This was facilitated by the creation of a large number of such malicious software, which, in fact, holds the computer system captive, restricting the user's access to the computer and demanding a ransom.
The Coincub report says that many of these programs, which are widely known, belong to Russian creators. In addition, the Kremlin's attitude to this, if not benevolent, then at least tolerant.
China is following Russia. He has fourth place. According to researchers, fraudulent activities are widespread in this country. There is also a large number of successfully carried out cyber attacks against financial pyramids and cryptocurrency exchanges. In addition, according to financial analysts, it is in China that the highest profits are obtained through fraud. For example, this country has more than 17% of the world's profits acquired by criminal means.
Then comes Britain. The reason was the fixation of a huge number of attacks on the security system and cases of fraud. According to experts, in this country, fraudsters can hide information about the sources of funds and the persons to whom they are sent, due to the fact that British law is too lenient in terms of regulating corporate activities. If we look at the statistics of cryptocurrency-related fraudulent crimes over the past year, we can see that the number of such confirmed cases is more than 7,000.
Despite all this, the cryptocurrency industry is generally law-abiding. Do not assume that it is hopeless and is the source of an infinite number of financial crimes.
