● Crypto Cybersecurity & Investigations

Follow the money.
Trace every transaction.

Crypto moves fast. Criminal networks move faster. CryptoMatrix Intelligence follows the chain, wherever it leads.

· WHY CRYPTOMATRIX

More than a blockchain investigation firm.

CryptoMatrix Intelligence is a digital investigations and forensic intelligence firm. We combine cryptocurrency investigations, computer forensics, and research into emerging AI-enabled threats, so every engagement draws on all three disciplines instead of just blockchain-analytics software, and findings hold up with legal counsel, regulators, and law enforcement.

THREE PILLARS, ONE FIRM
01
PILLAR ONE

Digital Investigations

Professional investigative and forensic services for cryptocurrency-related and digital financial crime matters.

02
PILLAR TWO

Computer Forensics

Digital evidence acquisition, forensic examination, malware triage, OSINT, dark web intelligence, and incident reconstruction where appropriate.

03
PILLAR THREE

Research & Innovation

Advancing investigative methodologies for emerging threats: AI-assisted fraud, synthetic identity, deepfake documents and audio, digital identity manipulation, and next-generation investigative techniques.

Not another blockchain investigation company. A digital investigations and forensic intelligence firm built for what financial crime looks like now, and what it will look like next.

OUR METHODOLOGY IN PRACTICE

CRYPTO­MATRIX
  • Digital Investigations: multi-chain fund tracing tied to real-world identity, including exchange KYC, device metadata, and OSINT attribution
  • Computer Forensics: forensic acquisition, malware triage, and dark web intelligence layered onto blockchain data
  • Research & Innovation: active research into AI-enabled fraud and deepfakes, so methodology adapts before these techniques go mainstream
  • Most cases need all three disciplines at once to fully resolve
KNOW THE THREAT

How crypto scams actually work

Most victims don't recognize what's happening until the funds are already gone. Here's what we see most often in real investigations.

💔
The slow con.

Pig Butchering & Romance Scams

Victims are cultivated over weeks or months through fake relationships before being convinced to invest in fraudulent crypto platforms. The "returns" you see are fabricated. The platform itself is the scam.

📉
Built to disappear.

Rug Pulls & Exit Scams

A token or project launches, attracts investment, then the developers drain liquidity and vanish. Warning signs often show up on-chain long before the price does.

🔓
Not always a hack.

Exchange Hacks & Account Takeovers

Sometimes it's a platform breach; often it's a compromised email, SIM-swap, or phished seed phrase. The entry point changes what evidence exists to trace.

🔒
Pay now, trust later.

Ransomware Payments

Attackers encrypt systems and demand crypto for the key. The payment itself is traceable, and mapping where it goes often matters more than the ransom amount.

🎣
Looks legitimate. Isn't.

Phishing & Fake Wallet Drainers

Fake wallet-connect prompts and cloned sites trick users into signing a transaction that silently drains their wallet. No password is ever needed.

The scam after the scam.

Recovery Scams

Fraudsters impersonate investigators or law enforcement, targeting people who already lost funds, promising recovery for an upfront fee. Legitimate investigators don't guarantee recovery.

· COMPUTER FORENSICS, APPLIED

From on-chain hunch to court-ready evidence

Anyone can look at a block explorer and say "we think it was them." Getting from a hunch to evidence a court, regulator, or law enforcement agency can act on takes computer forensics, applied to cyber crime, cryptocurrency typologies, and a strict ethical methodology at every step.

CYBER CRIME & DIGITAL EVIDENCE

Proving what happened, not just what you suspect

Financial crime rarely lives only on the blockchain. Compromised email, malware, and cloned wallet-connect sites leave evidence off-chain, too, and it has to be collected the same way cyber-crime forensics requires.

  • Documented chain of custody from the moment evidence is found
  • Device and account forensics alongside on-chain tracing
  • Findings built to survive cross-examination, not just persuade
CRYPTOCURRENCY TYPOLOGIES

Recognizing how funds are actually moved and hidden

Criminal use of crypto follows patterns regulators already track. We investigate against the same typologies FATF and global AML frameworks flag as high-risk.

  • Mixing, tumbling, and anonymity-enhanced currency use
  • Peel chains and rapid movement across dozens of wallets
  • Structuring below reporting thresholds and unhosted-wallet exposure
IACIS CODE OF ETHICS & METHODOLOGY

Standards that protect the integrity of the case

Our methodology follows the same ethical code IACIS holds computer forensics examiners to. An investigation is only as strong as the integrity behind it.

  • Objectivity: unbiased findings, examined thoroughly before any opinion is given
  • Evidence integrity: no concealing or distorting facts that don't fit a theory
  • Confidentiality and honest representation of credentials, always
THE CYBERSECURITY BACKBONE

How the evidence itself is protected

Blockchain forensics is a cybersecurity discipline first. Every piece of evidence is acquired, verified, and stored using the same technical controls used in enterprise incident response, not just crypto-tracing software.

Forensic Acquisition & Write-Blocking

Evidence is copied using write-blocking methods so the original source data can never be altered during collection.

Standard: IACIS digital evidence handling protocols

Cryptographic Hash Verification

Every file, wallet export, and screenshot is hashed (SHA-256) at the moment of collection and re-verified before it's used in any report.

Standard: NIST digital forensics guidelines

Secure Chain-of-Custody Logging

Every person, system, and timestamp that touches a piece of evidence is logged and access-controlled from intake to final report.

Standard: Evidentiary requirements for U.S. & international courts

Threat Actor Tactic Mapping

Attacker behavior, meaning how funds were moved, hidden, or laundered, is categorized using the same framework enterprise security teams use to track cybercriminals.

Standard: MITRE ATT&CK framework

Court-Admissible Tooling

Acquisition and analysis run on the same tooling used in traditional digital forensics casework, not just blockchain-specific software.

Standard: EnCase / FTK methodology, Cellebrite UFED

Security Governance for Case Integrity

Internal access controls and audit trails protect the case data itself from compromise, tampering, or unauthorized access.

Standard: ISC² / NIST security governance principles
OUR PROCESS

A rigorous methodology. From first contact to final report.

Every CryptoMatrix investigation follows the same structured, court-defensible approach. We do not speculate. We trace. We document everything.

01

Confidential Intake & Scoping

Every engagement starts with a confidential, no-obligation consultation. We listen to what happened, assess whether we can help, and formalize the relationship under NDA before any analysis begins.

Goals of this phase
  • Give you complete legal protection for your case before any work starts
  • Confirm feasibility across every chain, platform, and jurisdiction involved
  • Leave you with full clarity on scope, timeline, and cost, with no surprises later
02

On-Chain Tracing & Intelligence

Our analysts get to work following the funds, combining blockchain analytics with OSINT methodology to build a complete picture of what happened and who's involved.

Goals of this phase
  • Reconstruct the full path of funds, not just the first or most obvious hop
  • Identify every wallet, entity, and jurisdiction connected to the case
  • Surface sanctioned or high-risk exposure before it becomes your liability
03

Reporting, Delivery & Support

Findings are compiled into a single, structured record built to the standard a court, regulator, or law enforcement agency actually requires.

Goals of this phase
  • Leave nothing open to interpretation: every finding fully documented and defensible
  • Equip your attorney, regulator, or law enforcement contact to act immediately
  • Provide direct analyst support for as long as your case remains active
