Gate News message, April 9, a certain CEX announced that it would participate in an international law enforcement operation led by the UK National Crime Agency (NCA), “Operation Atlantic,” in conjunction with the U.S. Secret Service and law enforcement and regulatory agencies in Ontario, Canada, to target crypto and investment scams, with a particular focus on “approval phishing” scams. Approval phishing typically disguises itself as an investment opportunity to guide users into granting wallet access permissions, thereby transferring assets. During the operation, the CEX’s special investigation team provided on-site support in London, including scam identification procedures, risk screening, and intelligence analysis, and helped identify potential victims and related malicious websites. Meanwhile, the CEX also provided the authorities with the addresses involved and intelligence on suspects, supporting asset tracing and enforcement actions. The NCA stated that this operation has successfully protected thousands of potential victims in the UK and overseas.
