Selon KrebsOnSecurity, les autorités canadiennes ont infligé une amende record de 176 millions de dollars à Cryptomus, plateforme de paiement en cryptomonnaies, après des constats de manquements graves en matière de déclaration d’activités suspectes liées à des crimes financiers et cybercriminels. L’enquête de FINTRAC a relevé des défaillances de Cryptomus dans la déclaration de transactions suspectes associées à l’exploitation d’enfants, la fraude, le ransomware et l’évasion des sanctions. Des recherches ont identifié 122 services cybercriminels utilisant Cryptomus et des connexions à 56 plateformes d’échange russes permettant des transferts de liquidités vers des banques russes sanctionnées.
