How to start career in blockchain forensics and scams?
Hi everyone,
I have a background in cybersecurity, with a primary focus on penetration testing, and I’m currently pursuing a master’s degree with a concentration in blockchain security.
I am also working with blockchain company as content writer. I want to switch to blockchain investigations, specifically uncovering crypto fraud, tracking scam tokens, and tracing suspicious wallet activity.
Does anyone has made this switch from blockchain writing or adjacent tech roles into direct investigative work in the blockchain or crypto space. What did your path look like? Are there industry-recognized certifications that really make a difference, or is practical experience and a public portfolio more important? How critical is networking for breaking in?
Any advice, resources, or personal stories would be greatly appreciated. Thanks so much for your insights!
