In 2024, India has experienced a significant rise in digital fraud, especially related to cryptocurrencies and digital assets. Scams and cyber-attacks have increasingly targeted investors and financial institutions. To tackle this issue, law enforcement agencies, including the Enforcement Directorate and the Reserve Bank of India, are stepping up their efforts. A major incident involved the hacking of WazirX, a popular digital exchange, which resulted in a loss of $234 million and was reportedly carried out by hackers from North Korea. As digital fraud cases continue to grow, worries about security and investor trust have prompted calls for stricter rules and better safety measures in the digital finance sector. Moreover, new AI tools like MuleHunter.AI are being developed to help fight fraud more effectively. However, the absence of clear guidelines for Virtual Digital Assets (VDAs) remains a hurdle, making it difficult for both exchanges and users to manage the associated risks.
