Dark Web Security Vulnerabilities Lie at the Center of AlphaBay Crypto Fraud

Colleagues, we all know that the cryptocurrency ecosystem is a high-value target for cyber criminals worldwide. Nowhere is this more evident than the recent seizure of some $8.8m USD in cryptocurrencies along with another $14m of tangible assets from deceased cyber criminals Alexandre Cazes. Operating from Thailand Cazes amassed over 1,600 Bitcoins and another 8,300 Ethereum tokens from his illicit AlphaBay empire. A US Magistrate ordered this seizure with the aid of Thai officials. AlphaBay is believed to have its origins in the defunct dark web Silk Road platform. Bottom line: Crypto investors small and large are reminded that their assets are at from cybercrime and need to maintain the highest level of security. We recommend once again that investors and traders alike only engage with established and proven crypto exchanges, wallets, infrastructure providers and custodian service providers. Cyber criminals are relentless and crypto investors must be as well. Share your assessment while visiting us today! Lawrence – Cyber Security Defender (https://cybersecuritydefender.blogspot.com/)
