The Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe organized a five day training course on cryptocurrencies and Dark Web investigation for Uzbekistan’s police and prosecution forces.
Representatives from the General Prosecutor’s Office, the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the State Security Service attended the training from Oct. 17 to 21 to learn about the main concepts and key trends in the areas of internetworking, anonymity and encryption, cryptocurrencies, obfuscation techniques, Dark Web and the Tor networks.
The enforcers became acquainted with methods for seizing cryptocurrency and blockchain analysis developed by the European Cybercrime Training and Education Group. The OSCE has even donated a new computer classroom to the General Prosecutor’s Academy.
The course became the first national training in Uzbekistan delivered within the second phase of the Capacity Building on Combating Cybercrime in Central Asia extra-budgetary project, which is funded by the United States, Germany and the Republic of Korea.
