Interpol is launching a digital environment in the metaverse where police officers worldwide can connect.
The organization noted that a critical factor in the move to the metaverse is that many are already using the technology to commit crimes. And in the next few years, the metaverse’s acceptance level will increase. Accordingly, the list of crimes will also expand – from harassment to money laundering.
There have already been precedents for breaking the law with the help of the metaverse. A South Korean man was arrested for harassment and extortion of racy photos.
Interpol also intends to create a specially trained unit that will deal with the fight against cybercrime. And in the metaverse, anyone can take a course in forensics.
