Patrick Kim, CEO of Uppsala Security, said, “Last year, the total transactions of Bitcoin accounts related to Dark Web crime amounted to about 3.5 billion USD (about 4 trillion won). The proportion of cryptocurrency used in illegal trade and illegal fundraising through black trading on the Dark Web can no longer be ignored.” he said. “It is crucial to know how to track cryptocurrency transactions related to the Deep Web and Dark Web. The cryptocurrency market is rapidly growing, and as a result, losses on cryptocurrency theft and fraud are also increasing. The fact that NSHC’s OSINT curriculum, a representative information security field, included crime status and investigation methodology related to cryptocurrency means that cryptocurrency tracking has also been recognized as mainstream important in the security field.”
