Crimes in the crypto industry have increased significantly over the past year. There were many reports of cyber-theft, trade manipulation and other types of crime, which led to the fact that from 2018 about $ 1.7 billion was stolen from investors.
For example, a huge amount of IOTA coins in the amount of $ 11 million was stolen from investors' wallets. However, the perpetrator was discovered and IOTA representatives stated that most of the stolen funds were returned, but funds are being held for use as evidence.
Europol, together with law enforcement agencies in the UK and Germany, said last week that he had arrested a 36-year-old man accused of stealing IOTA coins. The offender allegedly stole $ 11.4 million worth of coins from more than 85 victims around the world, starting in January 2018.
After long investigations, it was discovered that fraud comes from the iotaseed.io domain intended for IOTA cryptocurrency users.
