Attorney General Ashley Moody’s Cyber Fraud Enforcement Unit shutdown six separate cyber schemes in the last three months.

Beginning in October 2024, Moody’s CFEU — a team of criminal and civil attorneys in the AG’s Office who work with Florida Department of Law Enforcement analysts and other law enforcement agencies to prosecute cybercrimes statewide — stopped seven cybercriminals in six different cases, ranging from grandparent scammers to identity thieves. Three of the schemes targeted Florida seniors. Over the course of 2024,the CFEU seized nearly $2.4 million in stolen cryptocurrency funds, returning more than $100,000 to victims — with more than $2.2 million still pending for returns.

Attorney General Ashley Moody: ‘In just the past three months, we have taken down six major cybercrimes. As technology evolves, so do the tactics of scammers, but my office is constantly working to protect Floridians and hold these cybercriminals accountable.’
