Crypto Incident Response Services
The TRM Crypto Incident Response Services team works collaboratively with organizations to investigate and respond to breaches that involve cryptocurrency
The Problem
The exponential growth of the Internet of Money has created a broad attack surface for threat actors. The same properties that make crypto a force for good – permissionless, programmable, and instantaneous value transfer — are being hijacked by ransomware groups, scammers, and hackers to attack at unprecedented speed and scale.
Today’s crypto threat landscape is more dynamic than ever before. In 2021 alone, we saw nation state hackers steal hundreds of millions of dollars in crypto, ransomware groups target hospitals and energy pipelines, and fraudsters steal more than a billion dollars from victims around the world.
Smart contract exploits
DeFi protocols, cross-chain bridges, and other smart contract-based projects may be exploited and hacked
Wallet hacks
Financial institutions and exchanges may be hacked, leading to loss of customer funds
Ransomware attacks
Organizations can be targets of ransomware attacks that demand payment in cryptocurrency
