International Policing Agency Plans To Target Financial And Cyber-based Crimes
October 21, 2022—Interpol, an international organization that trains and serves as a coordination hub for its 194 members, is embracing the Metaverse.
The agency announced today it is now part of the Metaverse, where humans become avatars interacting in a make-believe digital world. The agency plans to use its Metaverse creation to train police worldwide and provide an alternative way for officers to meet each other.
“As the number of Metaverse users grows and the technology further develops, the list of possible crimes will only expand to potentially include crimes against children, data theft, money laundering, financial fraud, counterfeiting, ransomware, phishing, and sexual assault and harassment,” the agency said.
Interpol conducts international investigations on international crimes as diverse as human trafficking and illegal gold and mineral mining. This week, the agency announced a new initiative to focus on financial and cybercrimes.
