🚨 The world’s cyber infrastructure is under attack. And the damage goes far beyond money. At stake are our identities, data, privacy and reputations - and the trust that holds our digital lives together. Financial loss is only one line in the damage report. 🔎 Our investigations must go further: What was taken? Where has it spread? Who can access it? Who remains at risk? 📍 Blockchain infrastructures bring their own risks, threats and investigative challenges. Compromised private keys, smart-contract vulnerabilities and the distribution of stolen data across decentralised networks demand tailored strategies that connect on-chain analysis with off-chain evidence, digital forensics and coordinated incident response. Every blockchain firm needs an investigative #toolbox that follows the money, traces the data, preserves the evidence and protects the people affected. ✍️🏽 JBBA Editor Simon Dyson explored this challenge in his 2019 research published “Blockchain Investigations—Beyond the ‘Money”. Today’s threats make the case for that broader investigative approach increasingly urgent. 📖 Read the full paper in The JBBA⁠. ✍️🏽 Infographics by the BBA’s Centre for Evidence Based Blockchain. #CyberSecurity #Blockchain #DigitalForensics #DataPrivacy #Cybercrime

🇬🇧 Yesterday, we submitted our comprehensive response to @TheFCA's Decentralised Finance consultation (GC26/7). 🌐 Drawing on four JBBA papers, including three conference proceedings from BBA’s Blockchain International Scientific Conferences (ISCs), the BBA Centre for Evidence Based Blockchain’s response highlights: ➡️ Resilience testing that examines liquidity, economic design, and technical dependencies in DeFi. ➡️ Governance assessments that examine who actually holds decision-making power. ➡️ Proportionate financial crime controls and clear responsibilities. ➡️ Practical regulation that protects consumers while supporting useful innovation. 📄 Read the full response on the BBA website: Home > Policy > Consultations. #DeFi #Blockchain #FCA #EvidenceBasedBlockchain #JBBA

📍 All major industry disciplines have a professional Charter and a well-established Code of Conduct for values and ethics. 🌐 What should those standards look like in Blockchain and Digital Assets? ✍🏽 In 2021, The British Blockchain Association put forward the Professional #Charter and Code of Conduct, setting out core principles for blockchain and cryptoasset professionals and service providers: ➡️ xitter.cf/drnaseemnaqvi/status/1… The #FTX collapse made one distinction clear: the integrity of the technology is not the same as the integrity of those who build, operate or sell services on top of it. Technology can be transparent and verifiable. People and organisations still have to choose how they behave. ✅ The Charter sets out clear expectations: ▪️ Act honestly, fairly and with integrity towards clients, colleagues, regulators and the public. ▪️ Commit to the highest standards of professional competence. ▪️ Exercise due diligence and make evidence-based decisions. ▪️ Remain accountable to stakeholders. ▪️ Uphold obligations to society and the environment. ▪️ Stay impartial, objective and fair. The Charter remains a practical reference point. Its value depends on how consistently we put its principles into practice, especially when doing the right thing carries a cost. 🌐 What standards, values and ethics guide your organisation, and how do you demonstrate them? #Blockchain #ProfessionalEthics #BBA #Integrity #Charter #Crypto #Code #Conduct
