Secretary General Jurgen Stock stated Interpol’s intention to monitor illegal activity on the metaverse, as reported by BBC. The ability of skilled and professional criminals to adapt to new technical instruments for committing crimes was noted by Stock.

Keeping up with the times is important for the agency; according to Mr. Stock,

Criminals are sophisticated and professional in very quickly adapting to any new technological tool that is available to commit a crime. We need to respond sufficiently to that. Sometimes lawmakers, police, and our societies are running a little bit behind.

Nearly four months have passed since the multinational organization debuted its metaverse at the 90th Interpol General Assembly in New Delhi, India, in October 2022.

According to Stock, criminals have begun to target consumers on platforms resembling the metaverse, and we must respond appropriately. Nonetheless, the group requires assistance in defining a metaverse offense.

Mr. Stock stated,

We have seen if we are doing it too late, it already impacts trust in the tools we are using, and therefore the metaverse. In similar platforms that already exist, criminals are using it.
