In a recent discovery, the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has released a fresh warning to cryptocurrency investors over the growing activity of stealing cryptocurrency by taking advantage of loopholes in decentralised finance (DeFi) platforms.

The complexity of cross-chain functionality, the open-source nature of DeFi platforms, and investors’ growing interest in cryptocurrencies are all factors that cybercriminals frequently attack, according to the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

Cybercriminals stole $1.3 billion in cryptocurrencies between January and March 2022, according to Chainalysis. This theft was performed on DeFi platforms to the extent of about 97%.

Whenever In Doubt, Consult A Certified Financial Advisor

Investors lose a hefty sum of money as a result of these frauds, according to the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Because of this, the Federal Bureau of Investigation has urged investors who have suspicions about cybercriminals involving their DeFi investments to get in touch with it via the Internet Crime Complaint Center or their local FBI field office.
