Introducing the GBA Financial Crimes Working Group

The group focuses on helping law enforcement and government agencies to forensically investigate and monitor illicit cryptocurrency use.  This group supports the development of techniques and advanced search algorithms to reliably detect suspicious activities within cryptocurrency transactions and the “Dark Web”. The focus is supporting cases “threat tagged” to virtual currencies such as human trafficking, illicit drug sales, kidnapping and ransomware attacks.
