The U.S. Secret Service announced the creation of the Cyber Fraud Task Force (CFTF) after the merger of its Financial Crimes Task Forces. CFTF’s main goal is to investigate and defend American individuals and businesses from a wide range of cyber-enabled financial crimes. The two’s convergence meant that financial crime investigators can no longer pursue a financial or cybercrime investigation without understanding both the financial and Internet sectors, as well as the technologies and institutions that power each industry. By merging the two task forces, the Secret Service wants to make sure that its investigators can successfully defend the financial system against the growing threat of transnational financial cybercrime.
