Laundering is the process of concealing the origins of money obtained through illegal activities, making it appear as if it comes from legitimate sources. In cybersecurity and financial crime contexts, laundering often involves complex transactions, digital currencies, or online platforms to obscure the money trail. Criminals use laundering to integrate illicit funds into the legal economy, making detection and prosecution more difficult. Effective anti-laundering measures are crucial for preventing financial crimes and protecting the integrity of financial systems.
