London police have blocked 43 encrypted phishing websites

Pete O'Doherty, temporary director of the National Fraud Intelligence Bureau (NFIB) in London, UK, revealed that NFIB has discovered a fake email address claiming to be from the cryptocurrency website Blockchain.com. The authorities found that 42 other domains had been registered, including "actionfraud.info" and "depart-fraud.com", and the police immediately blocked these addresses. NFIB urges those affected by cybercrime to report through official channels and hotlines. As of December 2023, the police have successfully deleted nearly 300,000 malicious websites, some of which include phishing attempts claiming that email recipients have won special benefits packages.
