Team TNT: Could You Be Unknowingly Mining for Crypto?

Cryptocurrency promised huge potential for investors. But it’s cybercriminals who are reaping the benefits. From multimillion-dollar ransomware payouts to borderless money laundering, cryptocurrency has quietly become the fuel powering a global cybercrime economy.

As regulation evolves across multiple jurisdictions, gaps, inconsistencies, and the borderless nature of crypto continue to give criminal threat actors a simple workaround: move somewhere the rules don’t reach. This has created opportunities for cybercrime that groups such as TeamTNT have been quick to exploit.

In this episode of Masked Actors, Group-IB’s Gary Ruddell and Nick Palmer are joined by Erica Stanford, Digital Asset, Crypto and AI Specialist at law firm CMS. She reveals the shadowy infrastructure and trail of crypto-enabled cybercrime that keeps hacking gangs like TeamTNT moving.
