Law enforcement agencies across the United States, United Kingdom, and Canada have united for Operation Atlantic. This cross-border initiative targets cryptocurrency fraud networks and illicit fund flows.
Announced March 16 by the National Crime Agency, the operation involves the U.S. Secret Service, RCMP, and financial regulators. The primary mission is disrupting approval phishing and pig butchering scams that cost victims millions annually. This effort expands upon the 2024 Project Atlas, signaling a hardened stance against digital asset crime. Authorities aim to reclaim stolen funds and close legislative gaps in the sector.
