Collaboration helps cybercrime fighters 'paint full picture,' event participants say
Partners from more than 50 organizations coordinated thousands of disruptive actions against fraud enablers, with 4,264 reports handled and $1.06 million recovered.
- From Nov. 2 to 6, the RCMP's National Cybercrime Co-ordination Centre and the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre hosted Operation Maple Disruption 2.0 in Ottawa, bringing together partners from more than 50 organizations to disrupt cybercrime tools.
- Partners coordinated thousands of disruptive actions against fraud enablers, including disabling email accounts, blocking phone numbers and websites, cancelling suspicious transactions, and blocklisting cryptocurrency addresses.
- Officials took action on 4,264 reports of fraudulent activity, with the RCMP confirming recovery of $1.06 million in stolen funds.
- RCMP officer Daniel Foy said the collaborative event speeds up investigations, allowing competitors to "get answers right away" rather than waiting days for responses.
- Graeme Bunton, director of the NetBeacon Institute, said the initiative helps participants combine "puzzle pieces" to visualize cybercrime trends, with organizers hoping these connections endure beyond the week.
