New cryptocurrencies are often seen as investment opportunities, but they can become a means for scammers to execute fraudulent schemes. Initial Coin Offerings (ICOs) and investment scams entice investors with false promises of profits, only to illicitly acquire investors' money and make them participate in Ponzi schemes to recover their initial investment.
The biggest ICO scam to date was Bitconnect, which raised over $2.6 billion from investors with the promise of up to 40% returns.
Performing an ICO audit helps identify vulnerabilities and risks of scams. Group-IB experts evaluate every aspect of the environment, including the blockchain network, website, application, and smart contracts. This process involves intrusive and non-intrusive methods, such as penetration testing, vulnerability scanning, source code review, and more.

Hackers have targeted various platforms, including ICO sites, web browsers, apps, extensions, and DNS resolutions, to create counterfeit substitutes, deceiving users into sending funds or sensitive data to the wrong address. To mitigate such risks, it’s essential to maintain constant visibility into your digital assets.
Additionally, complement this approach with manual testing of your website environment by pen-testers to identify and mitigate vulnerabilities promptly.
Activate 24/7 monitoring of your digital footprint (domains, websites, social media, etc) to detect and prioritize threats and actions against brand impersonation, defamation, and dissemination of false information. Safeguard your customers by detecting digital scams and facilitating agile takedowns of malicious content.
Exchanging crypto exposes users' personal, financial, or protected information, particularly due to the requirements of Know Your Customer (KYC) and Anti-Money Laundering (AML) policies. Intentional data breaches, often through compromised private keys on crypto exchanges, can result in regulatory penalties and a loss of user trust.
