How big is the problem of digital currency fraud

1. A number of victims of virtual currency fraud cases distributed all over the country said that they were refused to file a case when reporting to the local police because virtual currency could not be valued and could not reach the starting loss amount of theft or fraud. This situation may be affected by the announcement on preventing the financing risk of token issuance issued by seven ministries and commissions on September 4, 2017 (hereinafter referred to as the announcement). Generally speaking, fraud and other crimes of infringing property rights have the starting point of "large amount" According to the interpretation of the Supreme People's Court on Several Issues concerning the specific application of law in the trial of fraud cases, indivials who defraud public or private property of more than 2000 yuan belong to "large amount". However, the announcement clearly pointed out that "any so-called token financing trading platform shall not provide pricing, information intermediary and other services for token or virtual currency." Therefore, it is difficult for the public security organs to recognize the price of virtual currency displayed on the trading platform, and to estimate the value of virtual currency when the victims encounter virtual currency fraud, so as to determine whether the case meets the filing standard.

2.

We need to call the police. This belongs to currency fraud. We can't blindly trust the virtual investment platform that can easily earn a lot of money. Fraud gangs often use "small investment, big income" as t to let investors taste the sweetness first and then increase investment, so as to achieve the purpose of fraud

at present, the so-called "digital currency" in the market is not legal digital currency. The so-called "digital currency" launched by some institutions and enterprises and the so-called promotion of the central bank's issuance of digital currency may involve pyramid selling and fraud. It is necessary for the general public to raise their risk awareness, invest rationally and prudently, and prevent the interests from being damaged

extended information:

five ways to distinguish whether digital currency is MLM currency. Virtual currency does not rely on specific monetary institutions to issue, it is based on a specific algorithm, generated through a large number of calculations, is a decentralized way of issuing. Each different terminal node is responsible for maintaining the same account book, and the maintenance process is mainly to package and encrypt the transaction information by the algorithm, while the MLM currency is mainly issued by a certain organization, and the profit is made by pulling the head

2. Transaction mode. Virtual currency is a kind of sporadic transaction formed spontaneously in the market. After the scale is formed, the third party graally establishes an exchange to complete the transaction. The MLM currency is issued by an institution and traded on its own platform

3. The virtual currency itself is an open source program, maintained in the GitHub community. The parameters and methods of the total amount limit are shown in the open source code. The open source of MLM currency is completely ing other people's open source code, and there is no use of open source code to build programs, so its essence is controlled by the website like Q currency

Whether the source code link is given. The general decentralized digital currency will give the source code link in the prominent position of the official website, so as to show the operation mechanism of the monetary system openly and transparently. What MLM currency focuses on is the transaction process of recharge purchase, not to mention its operation mechanism, and even the website does not have the link address of the source code

5. Whether the official website starts with HTTPS. In general, the addresses of the official website and trading website of decentralized digital currency begin with HTTPS. The purpose of this kind of website is to protect users' data from illegal theft. But the official website of MLM currency, trading website and other related websites do not start with HTTPS

3. Can solve withdrawal recovery, do not panic, keep good chat records, transaction records and other evidence. Find a regular rights company to help you recover. Most of the domestic platforms are not up to standard, try to avoid operation, not greedy for huge profits! In fact, if you are cheated by black platforms such as foreign exchange and options, don't be afraid to lose heart. If you collect your own rights protection materials in time, you can recover them. Deposit records, transaction records, bank flow and so on are all vital rights protection materials. Before the platform is completely shut down, recover the principal.

4.

Digital currency is a new technology that can be used to improve transaction efficiency, but now it has been targeted by some lawless elements and carried out marketing and fraud in its name, using ordinary people's ignorance of digital currency to deceive investment and investors

Generally speaking, we investors or cheated people should prepare the following evidence:

1. The chat records between relevant chat records and analysts or agents or order calling personnel are the most basic evidence, because such evidence can fully reflect the whole process of our cheated people being cheated and the illegal places of relevant business personnel in the chat process, Can be fully reflected in the chat record

2. The evidence of relevant deposit and withdrawal records is the deposit and withdrawal of the bank account of the investor or the cheated person, which can reflect the investment and withdrawal of the cheated person, and the difference between the two is basically the total capital loss of the investor. This kind of evidence can be preserved by the cheated basically, just go to the bank and print the bank account

the above evidence is the basic evidence that investors or cheaters should have, but not all the evidence. In the process of power only, if there is no or incomplete basic evidence, then the difficulty of power only will increase, but the light of justice is still willing to take up the weapon of law to help you safeguard your vital interests! Willing to give the most professional legal aid! Promise only right is not successful, do not charge the slightest fee

5. The following is for reference only:
very large
in the field of blockchain and virtual currency, such cases of losses caused by the security of exchanges occur frequently, causing great economic losses to users. The security experts of Juhui ggfx also gave a hint: there are still many loopholes in the current digital currency trading platform, for example, the most common are the following six kinds:
the first kind: denial of service attack
denial of service attack is the most important attack against the digital currency trading platform at present. Through denial of service attack, the attacker makes the trading platform unable to access normally, Because users can not accurately distinguish the degree of attack, it often causes panic asset transfer, which brings some loss
the second kind: phishing
even the best technical measures at present can not make the digital currency trading platform avoid phishing attacks. Some hackers and outlaws can confuse digital currency investors by means of fake domain names or fake pages, while ordinary investors can't identify the authenticity, so it's easy to cause asset losses
the third: Hot wallet protection
many digital currency trading platforms use a single private key to protect the hot wallet. If hackers can access a single private key, they can crack the hot wallet related to the private key. For example, in the attack on yapizon of Seoul stock exchange in 2017, the attackers stole hot wallets from the trading platform twice in a year, resulting in a total loss of nearly 50% of the assets of the trading platform and eventually leading to the bankruptcy of the trading platform
Fourth: internal attack
e to the lack of perfect risk isolation measures or ineffective supervision on the authority of employees, the digital currency trading platform also has employees' self-monitoring and stealing, and some employees with operating authority of the platform use internal trust to seek ill gotten gains for themselves. For example, in 2016, the event of employees stealing bitcoin on shapeshift caused a total loss of US $230000 to the trading platform by stealing and reselling sensitive information to others
the fifth: software vulnerability
the software vulnerability of digital currency trading platform includes single sign on vulnerability, OAuth protocol vulnerability, etc. At present, all countries have laws requiring banks or other financial institutions to implement information security measures to protect customers' deposits. However, e to the fact that the blockchain field is still in its infancy, there is a lack of such specifications for encrypting digital assets. Therefore, it is not accidental that many trading platforms have a large number of loopholes in the absence of security constraints
sixth: transaction malleability
Technical supporters of blockchain often think that blockchain transactions are highly secure because they are recorded on records that are said to be unchangeable, but each transaction needs to have a corresponding signature, and the records can be temporarily forged before the final confirmation of the transaction. Mt. GOx, which once accounted for 80% of the world's total transactions, was hacked to submit code changes to the public ledger before the initial transaction was released, resulting in a loss of 473 million US dollars< br /> &# 160;

6. It is wrong to say that China's digital currency comes from the people, because it comes from the present. Science.
