New Global Task Force Formed To Disrupt Crypto Scams, US Secret Service Leads

The US Secret Service, in partnership with law enforcement agencies from the UK and Canada, has launched "Operation Atlantic," a new international initiative to combat crypto investment scams. The operation specifically targets "approval phishing," a tactic where victims unknowingly grant attackers access to their digital wallets. Its goals are to disrupt organized fraud, assist victims in securing assets, recover stolen funds, and raise public awareness. The collaborative effort builds on the success of the 2024 Canadian-led "Project Atlas" and involves agencies including the UK's National Crime Agency and the Ontario Provincial Police. Officials emphasized that as criminals operate across borders, a coordinated international response is essential.
