New Powers to Combat Money Laundering and Cyberattacks
This act expands the U.S. government's authority to block or impose conditions on money transfers linked to countries, financial institutions, or transaction types deemed primary money laundering concerns. This aims to protect citizens and businesses from cyberattacks, such as ransomware, which often use digital currencies to hide illicit payments. As a result, your money and data will be safer, and it will be harder for criminals to conceal their profits.
Key points
The U.S. government can now restrict financial transactions with countries or institutions suspected of money laundering, including those using new technologies like cryptocurrencies.
The goal is to make it harder for criminals, including those behind ransomware attacks, to hide and move illegally obtained funds.
These changes aim to enhance financial security and protect businesses and citizens from fraud and cyberattacks.
