Cryptocurrency is among the biggest stories of 2021. The rise in value of cryptocurrencies raised people’s interest in crypto around the world. It has become a hot topic not only among investors but also among common people. While countries are still to legalise crypto, it is seeing some adoption (baby steps) in certain segments. Soaring bitcoin and cryptocurrency have also attracted a wave of cyber criminals. In fact, Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) warned bitcoin and cryptocurrency buyers, exchanges and payment platforms over the growing threat of criminals looking to steal bitcoin and crypto-assets. Google too removed 8 fake cryptocurrency Android apps that scammed users earlier this year. These apps masquerade as cryptocurrency cloud mining applications, where users can earn cryptocurrency by investing money into a cloud-mining operation.
