What We’re Reading this Month: March 2022

This Photon research team blog summarizes three topical items: Chainalysis’ 2022 crypto crime findings highlighting DeFi-driven scams and stolen funds and the concentration of laundering services; the rise of hacktivist activity related to the Russia–Ukraine conflict and the potential operational/legal risks of such actions; and emerging metaverse/crypto wallet scams targeting new users. The piece is commentary and guidance rather than an incident report or technical analysis.
