Daily briefing
Briefing topics
Every briefing we publish is grouped under one of these subjects, so you can read a single thread rather than the whole archive.
Investment and romance fraud
Long-form investment fraud is the largest single category of loss reported to us: a relationship built over weeks, a platform that shows profits, and withdrawals blocked behind fees. These briefings track how those approaches change.
Read briefingsWallet drainers and approvals
Most wallet losses are not stolen keys. They are signatures the owner gave to a contract that then withdrew the balance later. These briefings cover drainer patterns, approvals and the steps that limit the damage.
Read briefingsExchanges and freezes
Exchanges are where most traces end and where almost all practical action becomes possible. These briefings cover deposits, restrictions, stablecoin freezes and the reporting that makes them achievable.
Read briefingsReporting and law enforcement
Reporting is the part people most often get wrong, and the part that most affects what remains possible. These briefings cover Action Fraud, Police Scotland, banks and the evidence that makes a report usable.
Read briefingsTracing and evidence
These briefings cover the mechanics: how value is followed hop by hop, what bridges and mixers do to a trail, and what to capture before evidence disappears.
