DC Chapter Event
About this Event

This event is DC Chapterโ€™s Q3 event focuses on how platforms like IVIX (www.ivix.ai) follow digital breadcrumbs, including forum posts, metadata, blockchain transactions, and online aliases, then leverage and piece together the data to fight cybercrime, using forensic and open-source intelligence (OSINT) techniques.

The U.S. DOJ takedown of the Silk Road darknet marketplace in 2013 is showcased. This prosecution was made possible through a combination of technical analysis, operational surveillance, and the correlation of online activity with real-world identity information.

The presenters will unravel and explain investigations of other cybercrimes, such as the infamous 2020 Twitter hack by โ€œPlugWalkJoeโ€ https://www.justice.gov/archives/opa/pr/uk-citizen-extradited-and-pleads-guilty-cyber-crime-offenses to further illustrate dynamic interactions of how these tools are continually adapted for investigations despite fraudstersโ€™ continuing efforts to conceal their schemes.

National will provide advertising and tag the DC Chapter Members on social media sites. The DC Chapter Board Members will reshare/blast the advertisement and share to increase activity and interest in ACFCS and DC Chapter events and membership.



This event will provide an opportunity for DC Chapter and online attendees to learn:

-The value of OSINT and international cooperation to expose the activities and identities of criminals who hide in digital shadows.

-How government investigative and regulatory agencies are able to uncover and take down bad actors who engage in hidden economic activity; also how these efforts lead to compliance with local and national laws, at scale.

-How private sector OSINT platforms like IVIX bring to government agencies that same investigative power in joint criminal and civil investigations.

-Networking at in-person event with D.C. area professionals including forensic investigators, government, legal, accounting and FinTech experts.
