Virtual currencies are playing an ever-growing role in criminal activity—and investigators need the right tools to keep up. NW3C’s CI240 Intermediate Cyber Investigations: Virtual Currency equips professionals with the knowledge and hands-on experience to investigate crimes involving digital assets.
This immersive course explores:
- Virtual currency basics
- Blockchain technology
- Leading cryptocurrencies (Bitcoin®, Ethereum®, Monero)
- Stablecoins, DeFi, and NFTs
- Investigative techniques for tracking, documenting, seizing, and securing cryptocurrency
Participants also practice real-world skills through exercises like opening a Bitcoin wallet, tracing transactions on the blockchain, and identifying services with free/open-source tools.
Why it matters:
Graduates report immediate impact in their work. One investigator tracked fraudulently received funds across the blockchain using only the skills gained in this course. Another has since frozen millions in virtual currency assets and worked closely with NW3C trainers for expert guidance.
