The Role of Cybersecurity in Fund Recovery

When cryptocurrency is lost due to a hack, phishing scam, or platform vulnerability, cybersecurity experts play a critical role in the recovery process. Their responsibilities include:

• Identifying the Source of the Breach:
  Analyzing how the attacker gained access—whether through malware, social engineering, weak credentials, or system flaws.

• Forensic Investigation:
  Tracing stolen funds across the blockchain using digital forensics, IP analysis, metadata tracking, and threat intelligence.

• Securing Affected Systems:
  Ensuring that compromised wallets, devices, or accounts are immediately secured to prevent further loss.

• Supporting Legal Evidence Gathering:
  Providing digital logs, attack vectors, and tracing reports that can be used in criminal investigations or civil recovery cases.
