Interpol has begun collaborating with the South Korean start-up S2W LAB to curb illegal activities on the darknet and cryptographic crimes.
As noted by Interpol, the majority of illegal activities on the Internet are carried out with the participation of cryptovalue. According to the official report, the International Criminal Police Organization has signed an agreement with the South Korean startup S2W LAB for the provision of data extracted from the darknet.
Darknet has long been the epicenter of criminal activity. However, it is extremely difficult to trace information passing through the darknet, which means that many dangerous criminals will never be brought to justice.
South Korean startup S2W LAB has been tracking huge amounts of darknet data since 2018 and has already created its own database. Using a multi-domain analysis mechanism based on artificial intelligence, the company can analyze the data and detect links between multiple time periods and domains.
The S2W LAB has attracted Interpol's attention thanks to several authoritative articles published on the subject, as well as a number of international patents obtained by the company. The company's technical director, Shin Seung-won, a professor at the Korea Advanced Institute of Technology, is a member of Interpol's subcommittee on cryptographic crime investigations. He noted:
"It is very difficult to respond to cybercrime on the Darknet because of its characteristics and widespread use of cryptographic material... We will assist in international investigations and contribute to technology that will be used for good purposes.
Recall that early this year Interpol led an operation to combat the spread of the Coinhive hidden mining program.
