The emergence of Web 3 technology, blockchain, and cryptocurrency has helped criminals gain anonymity of their illegal day-to-day transactions, making it more difficult for them to be detected by law enforcement agencies. Digital cash transactions have evolved into money laundering, scams, hidden accounts, illicit transactions on the surface, deep and dark webs, and more. Understanding how KYC and AML affect cryptocurrency illegal transactions and protocols is essential.
This introductory course will focus on Web 3, blockchain, and cryptocurrency transactions. Cryptocurrency digital evidence will be discussed in-depth, providing examples, such as USB drives, Nano Ledgers, wallets, ATMs, exchanges, etc. Different case studies will be offered to understand and learn about Web 3, the blockchain, and cryptocurrency, educating law enforcement on investigating these crimes and scams using cryptocurrency. A live demonstration will be provided to investigate a cryptocurrency crime using OSINT for cryptocurrency and private software. This course will give hands-on skill development utilizing cryptocurrency investigation software programs. Attendees will be emailed directions and user keys the week before the course begins. This course comprises case studies, investigative examples, live demonstrations, and hands-on learning. (2-day event)
