According to Decrypt, the latest report from the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) reveals that by 2025, scam-related crimes in regions like East Asia, Southeast Asia, Australia, and New Zealand are estimated to cause total losses of $88.3 billion to $114.1 billion, with some of the funds being laundered through cryptocurrency. The report highlights that criminal groups in these areas have merged into a transnational 'enterprise franchise' economy that relies on technology and shared services, leveraging tools like generative AI, deepfake technology, and satellite internet for expansion. UNODC urges law enforcement agencies to conduct specialized training on cryptocurrency tracking and seizure. https://www.(wublock123.com)/news/news-65182
