Interpol's member countries have raised concerns about how to prepare for possible metaverse crime, Madan Oberoi, Interpol's executive director for technology and innovation, told Reuters. "Some of the crimes may be new to this medium, some of the existing crimes will be enabled by the medium and taken to a new level," he said. Phishing and scams could operate differently when augmented reality and virtual reality are involved, Oberoi said. Child safety issues were also a concern, he said. Virtual reality could also facilitate crime in the physical world, Oberoi said. "If terror group wants to attack a physical space they may use this space to plan and simulate and launch their exercises before attacking," he said.
