Bad actors the world over capitalize on crises to commit #fraud … #covid19 and its attendant economic stimulus bill (the largest in American history) present tempting opportunities for these bad actors. Organizations in the private and public sector alike must be equipped with the proper tools and techniques to mitigate against these new and growing fraud risks.
This Thursday, please join me and my Partner Linda Miller, as well as my Grant Thornton LLP colleagues James D. Ruotolo, Sara Carver, and Sophia Carlton, as we explore the risks posed by recent events and focus on how organizations can minimize #FraudRisk and help their organizations to keep going strong.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) this week arrested a Russian national believed to be the animating force behind the Deer[.]io criminal marketplace. The site is believed to have operated over 24,000 “shops” that sell hacked accounts and stolen user credentials. This is a blow to the criminal underworld, and it should be lauded accordingly. Kudos on the diligent investigative work the led to this arrest!

The U.S. Department of Justice and Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) charge two Chinese nationals with the laundering of over $100 Million in #cryptocurrency stolen from exchanges by North Korean actors seeking to evade international sanctions.
This is a remarkable case, involving tremendous cooperation among international law enforcement, sophisticated digital forensics, and a resolute pursuit of actors determined to compromise global financial systems and harm the United States. Kudos to all involved!

Today’s update is admittedly a geeky one. The good folks at the Mozilla project have embedded a non-trivial improvement into the #Firefox browser. Users of this browser will now have their “name resolutions” (i.e., the on-the-fly correlation of human-friendly website addresses to computer-friendly numeric machine addresses) performed via encrypted channels.
Yes, I recognize how dorky I sound, but this is a big deal. Why? Because this will establish a trend that will be incorporated into all web #browsers over time, thereby removing a decades-old attack vector for bad actors and improving the security of end users across the globe. Kudos Mozilla!

Today’s #GoodGuysPrevail Update: I’m thankful for the continued efforts of the good folks at the U.S. Secret Service and the United States Attorneys’ Offices who team up to prosecute a particularly odious form of online predation (known, euphemistically, as “romance scams”). Well done to the entire Electronic Crimes Task Force team…
