On money laundering enforcement, the US Treasury Department has repealed the beneficial ownership reporting rule for domestic businesses, while on market abuse the SEC has brought charges in respect of an affinity fraud targeting Orthodox Jewish communities. On cybercrime, the UK Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) reprimanded the ACRO Criminal Records Office over system vulnerabilities which exposed sensitive personal data, while Taiwan has disclosed an automated, AI-driven hacking campaign against state targets.
