The FBI expanded its Financial Fraud Kill Chain and Operation Level Up efforts to block fraudulent transfers, notify victims, and freeze stolen funds for U.S. cybercrime victims. The agency said those interventions helped stop scam proceeds and, in some cases, recover money. The program is especially relevant to cryptocurrency investment fraud, where many victims do not realize they are being targeted.
