The U.S. House of Representatives plans to establish a cross-agency joint task force called the "Federal Cryptocurrency Theft Task Force." According to the bill text, this task force will be led by the U.S. Attorney General (Attorney General) and will involve multiple federal core law enforcement and financial agencies, including the Department of Justice (DOJ), Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), Department of Homeland Security (DHS), and the Treasury Department. Its core function is to serve as a unified federal coordination center for preventing and investigating cryptocurrency thefts, hacking attacks, and financial fraud (such as "pig-butchering" scams), providing a single federal contact point for cross-jurisdictional cases and victims, and strengthening joint efforts against overseas criminal networks and ransomware-related encrypted payments.

Someone finally started to crack down on those hackers. My wallet was stolen two years ago and there's been no progress.

The single point of contact design is good; now when reporting an incident, we don't know who to turn to.

Cross-jurisdiction coordination is the hardest to manage; each state has different laws. Good luck to them.

Is the Ministry of Finance getting involved? Are they about to establish a new regulatory framework?
