This category focuses on Bitcoin theft and Bitcoin-related scams, such as wallet compromises, SIM swaps, phishing attacks, fraudulent platforms, investment fraud and mistaken transfers. Bitcoin transactions cannot be reversed, but every movement is recorded on a public blockchain. Our articles explain how investigators use that record, through UTXO analysis, transaction graph mapping, cooperation with exchanges and legal process, to follow where coins went and build a documented picture of the loss. Speed matters, because the clearest trail is usually the freshest one, and so does honesty about what is realistic. We act only with your consent, and you should never hand over passwords, seed phrases or private keys to anyone offering recovery.
