Online fraud is increasing in scale, diversity and sophistication, at a pace we have never seen before. From investment fraud to cyberattacks, to get people’s money and data, to the laundering of this criminal money via cryptocurrencies, the entire life cycle of crime takes place online. The Internet is the criminal theatre of today, as almost all serious and organised crime has a digital footprint.

In this instalment of The Europol Podcast, we uncover the digital criminal underworld to find out how crime is nurtured online.
