Privacy No More: US Government Preparing Forensic Analysis Tools<\/span><\/h2>\n

Among the biggest concerns surrounding cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin are fears that the emerging technology could facilitate money laundering by rogue countries, terrorist organizations<\/a>, and cybercriminals.<\/span><\/p>\n

However, the United States government has increasingly bolstered their ability to trace blockchain transactions, and have even learned how to track Bitcoin transactions back to the source and identify the wallet holder, as was the recent case where the U.S. Treasury sanctioned two men from Iran<\/span><\/a> over their involvement in ransomware attacks.<\/span><\/p>\n

Next on the government\u2019s agenda, is to begin looking into privacy-focused cryptocurrencies, such as Dash, Zcash<\/a>, Monero, and more. <\/span><\/p>\n

According to a pre-solicitation document published by the DoHS’s Small Business Innovation Research Program. The document, discovered by The Block<\/span><\/a>, the U.S. government is allegedly investigating ways to better track transactions on the blockchains of the aforementioned privacy coins.<\/span><\/p>\n

The report does speak positively about some of the aspects of privacy coins, but calls attention to transactions of “illegal nature” that occur using said cryptocurrencies. The eventual goal is to build out a platform that law enforcement agencies, government branches, and even private financial institutions can use to analyze and enforce important anti-money laundering laws.<\/span><\/p>\n

Since the document is just a pre-solicitation, the notice is “merely an opportunity for interested parties to comment on or request information about the attached topic areas,” and doesn\u2019t mean that the government already has such tools in its possession. It does, however, prove that the DoHS has concerns over privacy coins and their potentially illegal usage.<\/span><\/p>\n

Zcash, Dash, Monero, and many other privacy-focused cryptocurrencies<\/a> allow users to hide transaction and address data from anyone outside of the sender and receiver.<\/span><\/p>\n

Monero<\/a> is the cryptocurrency of choice for most cryptojackers as cybercriminals are able to easily hide their tracks. Monero has also unseated Bitcoin as the most-used cryptocurrency on the dark web, so it\u2019s no surprise to see that the United States is joining Japan in addressing concerns around privacy coins.<\/span><\/p>\n
