Ministry of Public Security: Online fraud groups are using blockchain, virtual currency and AI technology to upgrade their criminal methods
According to Beijing Business Daily, the Ministry of Public Security announced at a press conference held on January 10 that as of the end of 2024, more than 53,000 Chinese criminal suspects involved in telecommunications fraud in northern Myanmar had been arrested, successfully destroying the "Four Major Families" criminal group in Kokang, northern Myanmar.
The Ministry of Public Security pointed out that despite the remarkable effectiveness of the crackdown, the crime situation remains severe. Fraud syndicates are using new technologies such as blockchain, virtual currency and AI intelligence to continuously upgrade their criminal tools. These gangs are well-organized and carry out illegal activities such as app development, traffic promotion, transfer and money laundering through cross-border collaboration.
Fraudsters tailor their scam scripts to target people of different ages, occupations and educational backgrounds, and the victim groups are wide-ranging. Although the northern Myanmar electronic fraud park near the Chinese border has been cleared, there are still a large number of fraud dens outside the country under the guise of "science and technology parks" and "development zones."

Russia 'starts selling' 1,032 Bitcoins seized in Infraud hacker case
Russia has begun selling Bitcoin it seized in its 2023 investigation into the Infraud hacker group, Cryptonews reported. The move suggests Moscow is looking to convert more than 1,000 Bitcoins into fiat currency. Russia's official news agency TASS confirmed the development, saying Moscow will start by selling nearly $10 million worth of Bitcoin seized from former Russian Investigative Committee investigator Marat Tambiev.
Last year, Tambiev was convicted of accepting bribes from a hacker group. Prosecutors found hundreds of bitcoins on his computers and storage devices. The former investigator was convicted of receiving 1,032.1 bitcoins from the group and sentenced to 16 years in prison. However, the bailiffs' efforts to liquidate all 1,032.1 bitcoins have been complicated by legal obstacles. Tambiev appears to have divided the bitcoins into several smaller amounts. This means that the bailiffs must submit a separate court ruling to allow Moscow to access the bitcoins. However, the bailiffs have successfully persuaded the court to allow them to sell the first batch of bitcoins. They said Tambiev stored the bitcoins in a Ledger Nano X hardware encryption wallet.
