I think the crime in the internet world is not only from the Netherlands because now many countries are using cryptocurrency to launder money from the extortion process to many people who are victims, as happened to the ransomware and others, fortunately, some exchange sites have started to do KYC so that all assets that enter the exchange will be known who owns it and this can minimize crime in cryptocurrency.

a lot as many hackers are
hacking the IDs and wallet

withdrawing their amount from their account.
But it is good that police is resolving

The three arrested men in the South West are being held on suspicion of committing computer misuse and money laundering offenses.
They are a 33-year-old-man from Charlcombe in Bath, a 30-year-old man from Lower Weston in Bath and a 37-year-old man from Staverton in Wiltshire.
The suspects in the Netherlands - two men and a woman, aged 21, 26 and 29 - were arrested on suspicion of money laundering.

this incident greatly worried us all. feel the safety of our funds in the market can not rest easy. when their potential is good, they take advantage of the situation to steal. this is totally unacceptable. The question in our minds today is whether our current assets are safe? or even under surveillance by thieves?
I hope something like this does not happen to all of us.

Very impressed with the authorities who were savvy enough to catch them. There is a lot of good advice being shared in these answers about how to avoid this happening but we are probably preaching to the choir on this board.
One thing crypto badly needs is more secure, user-friendly apps that make it VERY difficult for scammers to pull this type of thing off. As a former Network Administrator I can confidently say that you cant educate all users to the point of being smart enough to not fall for tricks like this, you have to remove the possibility that they can happen at all, especially when it comes to online finance.

Scamming never ends. That’s why we really have to be very careful. I have come across these ‘typosquatting’ sites several times and not just in the cryptocurrency industry, I have seen it several times. That’s why people needs to be very careful when visiting a link and make sure that it belongs to the right site.
You can check the company you’re visiting their website on social media to be sure that the link you’re visiting is right. Apart from that you can check whether there is the keypad lock symbol at the URL. There are lots of procedures available these days to protect ourselves but people remain too ignorant still which usually results in losing their hard earned assets. I am not seeing any possible end for these.

People should really have at least that kind of knowledge when trying to look up for legit sites and as you mentioned about that SSL green padlock then thats one of the
indicators because majority of legit platforms now do have it.Also, having some initial search or in depth wont really cost an arm and leg but people are too lazy even doing
the simplest things which do really cause for them to get scammed even with a very obvious one but since due to lack or knowledge and some sort of common sense
then there are people who do really get victimized and this cycle would continue as long we do deal into a market which do involves money.

Six people were arrested in the Netherlands and the UK over a $27 million "typosquatting" scam, which involved making a fake website to gain access to user Bitcoin wallets.
.
This only proves that Netherlands is Good in catching scammers (How i wish our country will do same because of tons of scamming happening here) imagine that 27million$ are a Lifetime investment of some Victims and maybe those are what they gather from their lifetime crypto investing..
I strongly condemn such illegal things on crypto market.away with their wrongdoing.
We are in one position in this point mate because these criminals must be all gone Damn.I am happy at least here police have been able to identify them and brought them under justice. No criminals should be left alone in crypto space! Common people usually try to avoid dirty water.
And this will be an eye opener for those aspiring to be scammers and also those becoming a target .It is a good evidence or proof that Netherlands have a high security when it comes to transactions about cryptocurrency. They easily caught those scammers, and some countries are not that good at searching for those scammers that make the same crime over and over again. I'm so glad that it is possible for a country to increase and improve its security when it comes to cryptocurrency.
You need to become more careful and wise in choosing a platform that you will use because scammers are really flexible and they will do everything just to fool people and take their money.
People should really know how to determine if the websites are fake and if the platform that they are using is a fraud or not. Sometimes being observant is really necessary for us to prevent being scammed in a certain platforms, especially if it includes money and coins.
Six people were arrested in the Netherlands and the UK over a $27 million "typosquatting" scam, which involved making a fake website to gain access to user Bitcoin wallets.
5 man and 1 woman got arrested with warrant by the policeman at their homes Charlcombe, Lower Weston, and Staverton (UK), and Amsterdam and Rotterdam (Netherlands). They are really proffesional on accessing others account, there are many affected at least 4,000 victims in 12 countries and it still growing.
“The investigation relates to typosquatting, where a well-known online cryptocurrency exchange was ‘spoofed’ – or recreated to imitate the genuine site – to gain access to victims’ Bitcoin wallets, stealing their funds and login details.”

Good thing is that, they had already caught those six people because if that thing does not happen, the number of being affected by the scam will grow continuously. That is how expert hackers and scammers are.
So always be careful when visiting and trying some unfamiliar websites, always do research about it and read some reviews to assure yourself that it is legit.

Illegal acts such as this, make us vulnerable everyday. It’s a good thing that the government of Netherlands is capable of tracing hackers and scammers such as this and I command their government. This just shows that we need to be careful everyday, make sure we change our passwords from time to time and make very strong passwords that are not easily guessed. This is another reason why we cannot be fully dependent on bitcoins because of incidents like this. One cannot relay all of their money to bitcoins. What if one day, for unfortunate reasons, your account was hacked and your government cannot trace the people who did it. You are left without anything. Let us all be careful everyday when going through transactions and let us make sure that we take all necessary precautions to secure our accounts.
hello, this is great news for us cryptocurrency investors, a big round of applause for how they conducted the investigations that it was not easy to find them. I remain strongly convinced that the use of bookmarks is increasingly recommended and also the change of password from time to time with others that are always stronger

everyone that making the same bad things to crypto users,as this is
the reason why many people are afraid investing ere because of their activities.i am also hoping
that my country will have the same strong guts and perseverance to
make things happen because the spread of scamming and hacking is rampant in my place now
because crypto is being popular nowadays.

I am glad that you posted this news in this forum. It raised my awareness about checking the website before using it. It also raised my awareness that before doing transactions in the internet like buying stuff or entering your card number, I must check the website and its certificate/s first. It is still sad that people will do illegal things just for their sake/power/money (that's how the world works, there is good and bad.).
I don't think this is a new trick for scammers but I do believe they have this creative plan a very long-time before doing this and somewhat it looks effective. TBH, I really amazed their doings but the only thing it is illegal and I have to condemn this action.
Not only it happens in the Netherlands but also it happening globally. We can't totally stop this kind of activity for they have smart ass and they will still find a way to scam people.

People have been doing similar attacks 20 years ago when there was no Bitcoin.
I remember this being done in games and chatrooms where the system would allow someone to register an account with "I" instead of "l" and the names would look the same.
Some services did not show spaces so you could make a name with a single space in the begining or end and use that identity to get some private information.
One way of fighting it is to use password managers. They won't recognize the site and won't give you the loging and password if the link doesn't match 100%.

Again, this is why bookmarks are important.
Making an error in typing it then just using the google finds everyday could be a large risk when someone mimics the website.
Same goes to where we get our information.
Bookmark those legitimate ones to avoid mistakes.

good advice
. So always be careful when visiting and trying some unfamiliar websites, always do research about it and read some reviews to assure yourself that it is legit.
I think that's not the point because the scammers are copying another legit website which I think people have already done researched in and that is how people was getting fooled. This is just one of those classic phishing. One people should look into is the credentials of the website and if the certificate is legit. That is how people will know if that is a fake website or not. Also, always save your website so you won't get fooled.
Yes, it's the same. They are copying the name, the brand and everything that the original have in order to fool the users so I stand by my argument that they are copying. Also, I don't think they are buying alternative domain for their website because that would confuse the users more. They are more like trying to promote their only website so the users can just bookmark it and don't be fooled by other fakes.
Seriously, I don't know why people keep making this kind of mistake. Why is it that people don't check whether the site they are creating an account on is legit or not? There are lots of scammers out there and this is no longer a new thing. These ones have been caught, but are they the only ones? No they are not, there are still a lot of them out there doing the same and they will not all be caught, so this will continue.
It's up to the people to learn how to avoid these fake websites ,and they can do this by doing proper research before investing. Anyone that wants to create an account on any site should make sure that the website has the ‘https’ or padlock sign on the URL, if not, then you should proceed with care. Do your research and look for the right URL to the website.

You just have to understand them. Not all people are computer literate and this type of people are the target of this scammers.
This kind of crime called phishing the developers/programmers/ coder that is knowledgable into application development and HTML with the help of javascript, database, and keylogger to get the information of the users. There are a lot of issues like this and one of the common tactics of the people like this makes a website or platform that is duplicated to the real platform and they force their victim and users what are the personal information and by this, they can now make easily grab all of the information of the victim. Also by the help of the internet today it now makes easier to make a lot of this scam always be aware of the platform are browsing with because some of this included a phishing platform also you can see if the website is secured or not by the help of your browser if it is has a secured link near into the http link.
Even the trusted platform or website today it is easier to make a duplicate on it and they let you log in to their made platform and get access to your privacy still always be aware of the links you are clicking with because sometimes this is the cause why we got hacked or steal our information.
This is like next to phishing site.
This is why regardless of any sites I visit that involves my money, I would consider the reviews of the site in Youtube or even in Google.
Because some reviews might be biased, I tend to look at the registration date of the domain of the site.
I don't really look for something new of a site to buy Bitcoins at nor sell anyway.

Damn, this reminded me of a time I got scammed by a Dutch for 2 grand.
If only that shithead gets arrested too.
Same here, I also got scammed in Brussels, Belgium worth 25K USD. They are spoiling crypto industry. If only that shithead gets arrested too.
