  • Attribution Analysis: Attempting to link blockchain addresses to known entities (exchanges, illicit actors, individuals) using open-source intelligence and specialised tools.

2. Stolen Crypto Asset Recovery Support:

  • Investigating theft of cryptocurrencies or NFTs, identifying attacker wallets, and providing evidence to support recovery efforts through legal or exchange channels.

3. Smart Contract Security Incident Investigation:

  • Analysing exploited vulnerabilities in smart contracts to understand the attack vector and flow of stolen funds.
  • Full smart contract auditing for pre-deployment is also available.

4. NFT & DeFi Fraud Investigation:

  • Investigating fraudulent NFT mints, wash trading, rug pulls in DeFi projects, and other Web3-specific scams.
  • Analysing transaction patterns and on-chain data to uncover evidence of fraud.

Our Cyber Investigation Methodology

Futurum Risk delivers targeted, intelligence-led cyber investigation services across three specialised areas: Cyber Security Audits & Proactive Investigations, Digital Forensics & Incident Response, and Web3/Crypto Digital Investigations. Our approach is designed to uncover, verify, and interpret complex digital evidence with precision, discretion, and speed.

Our Methodology
  1. Customised Cyber Investigation Plan
    Each investigation begins with a clear understanding of your organisation’s digital environment, threat landscape, and specific objectives. We tailor our strategy to align with your security needs, legal considerations, and risk profile — whether the goal is proactive assessment, breach response, or blockchain tracing.

  2. Technical Data Acquisition & Threat Intelligence Collection
    Using a combination of proprietary, in-house, and industry-leading cyber tools, our investigators collect technical data across endpoints, networks, cloud environments, and blockchain systems. This may include logs, forensic disk images, smart contract code, or real-time threat intelligence — always handled securely and in line with global compliance standards.

  3. Forensic Analysis & Vulnerability Correlation
    Collected data is forensically preserved and analysed by our expert team to identify indicators of compromise, attack vectors, misconfigurations, or fraudulent behaviour. We correlate findings across multiple sources — from internal logs to on-chain activity — to build a cohesive and accurate picture of the event or risk.

  4. Risk Impact & Attribution Assessment
    We assess the potential impact of identified issues, vulnerabilities, or incidents — including operational, reputational, legal, and financial risks. When applicable, we conduct attribution analysis to link threat activity to known actors, internal users, or external entities.

  5. Evidential Reporting & Strategic Guidance
    Our investigations conclude with a clear, structured report detailing key findings, supporting evidence, and recommended actions. Whether used for internal decision-making, legal proceedings, or regulatory response, each report is tailored to your context and formatted for maximum clarity and impact.
