          The trio predicts an increase in ransomware attacks. Mainly against educational institutions, Saying that “school districts with low cybersecurity capabilities and tight resources are often the most vulnerable.”

          The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), which cited a report from Chainalysis. However, a blockchain analysis firm claimed that between January and March 2022.  Fraudsters stole cryptocurrency valued at $1.3 billion. 

          Through DeFi platforms, almost 97% of the cryptocurrency was seized.

          According to the FBI, criminals frequently use Defi platforms to their advantage. Furthermore. by abusing flash loan flaws, avoiding signature verification, or manipulating trading pairs.
