How crime is nurtured online

Online fraud is increasing in scale, diversity and sophistication, at a pace we have never seen before. From investment fraud to cyberattacks, to get people’s money and data, to the laundering of this criminal money via cryptocurrencies, the entire life cycle of crime takes place online.
