Interpol issues a “purple notice” in Bitcoin phishing case in South Korea: Reports

According to local media sources, South Korean police have submitted details on a crypto-related voice phishing case to global police organisation “Interpol” after getting a purple alert on two transnational crimes that targeted locals. 

According to the National Police Agency (KNPA), cryptocurrency crimes are on the rise in South Korea, including a case in which investors lost about US $2 billion last year. KNPA has finally communicated incident information from the voice phishing case to Interpol and its 195 member countries.

The “purple notice” issued by Interpol is a request for information on the procedures, objects, equipment, or concealing strategies used in cases. Last May, the purple notice also requested information about a non-crypto event involving a sea-jacking scenario off the coast of Africa.

According to the official website of Interpol, the purple notice means “To seek or offer information about criminals’ methods of operation, objects, devices, and concealing tactics.”
